Will Furyk calm Clarke and Mickelson’s aggressive strategy?

IF the Woods-Els-Barnes group is one they will all want to watch in the morning, there is no doubting who the fans will flock to see when their lunch and a few Buds have been demolished.

At 12.30 locally (6.30 in Ireland) it’s the tee time for Phil Mickelson, Darren Clarke and Jim Furyk, and as they say over here, ‘it should be a lot of fun’.

The common perception is that Mickelson and Clarke will be aggressive, pulling out the driver, defying the ankle deep rough and the 18 to 20 yard wide fairways.
