Dazed Darren deals with a dose of the bogeys ... and Southern blues

DARREN CLARKE needed just four words to sum up his final round collapse in the MCI Heritage at Hilton Head. “Anybody got a beer?” asked the Dungannon man.

The dazed Clarke won't forget his startling run of bogeys and double bogeys in a closing 76 that handed Australia's Peter Lonard his first PGA Tour title.

"I cannot believe I've done what I've done," he admitted after an appalling final round cost him prize-money of more than a half million dollars and copious world ranking points. A share of second earned him $342,200 as against the winner's cheque for almost a million dollars and improved his ranking by a meagre one spot, 17 to 16.
