Clarke overcomes shank attack

Mark Garrod

But Darren Clarke did not press the self-destruct button when it happened to him in the Barclays Scottish Open at Loch Lomond yesterday.

Far from it 63 more shots later he was in the clubhouse on 10 under par and will go into the third round sharing third place, two behind Maarten Lafeber. The Dutchman's round contained 63 strokes in total, just one off the course record.
