Clarke has the talent to beat anyone in the world on his day

THERE cannot be many people who can boast a 100% matchplay record against Tiger Woods, but Darren Clarke is a more than worthy member of that exclusive club.

Admittedly there have only been two meetings between the pair, but each time Clarke has deservedly come out on top.

The first came three years ago in the Ryder Cup at Brookline, when Clarke teamed up with his great friend and stablemate Lee Westwood against Woods and David Duval in the first day's fourballs.
