THE organisers of the Cisco World Match Play Championship have defended their decision to snub Ryder Cup star Darren Clarke for this year’s tournament.

Colin Montgomerie fears he could be out of golf for months rather than weeks after his back problem struck again in Australia today.

Country and western star Clay Walker is used to having people watch him. He once sold 65,000 tickets in a day for a concert in Houston - more than Elvis Presley did at the same venue.
