Clarke may face Rose in Match Play Championship

Next week’s Accenture World Match Play championship in California is set to start with 2000 winner Darren Clarke against Justin Rose.

Clarke beat Tiger Woods in the final three years ago to claim the 1million US dollars first prize, but did not defend the title in Australia the following season and last February, back at La Costa, was knocked out in the first round by American Matt Gogel at the second extra hole.
