Trio in pursuit of Clarke and Price

The young and the old of the multi-national European tour were gathered today to try to mount a challenge to Ryder Cup pair Darren Clarke and Phillip Price at the K Club near Dublin.

Eighteen-year-old South African Charl Schwartzel and veterans Mark McNulty and Eduardo Romero, soon to be 50 and 49 respectively, were among those on the heels of the Belfry team-mates going into the third round of the Smurfit European Open.
