Clarke is driven to distraction

DARREN CLARKE remained dead last in the 76-man field after a second round 74 as Pádraig Harrington continued to tread water in the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in steamy Akron.

Playing alongside pal Tiger Woods, British Open champion Clarke complained bitterly about the quality of his putting and the waywardness of his driving over the first two days.

“I played poorly and got stuck underneath the ball the whole time,” said Clarke, who finished his day alone in 76th place on 11 over par.
