Bjorn won’t suffer British Open hangover, says Clarke

THOMAS BJORN goes into the US PGA with a ringing endorsement from his European colleague and close friend Darren Clarke.

Both men know what it is to release their grip on a British Open on the final day, but Clarke believes Thomas won’t suffer any hangover effects after his collapse coming down the Royal St Georges stretch last month.

“I think he will play very well this week. I think he can forget about St Georges. I spoke to him on the Sunday night and then he came around to the house for a cup of coffee on the Monday and he was fine, he was in great form.”
