Clarke among leaders on day one in East Lake

Darren Clarke was one of three trailblazers at the top of the leaderboard on day one of the $6m (€4.7m) Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club.

Americans Jay Haas and Jerry Kelly and Northern Ireland’s Clarke tamed the testing conditions, carding 67s. Coming into Atlanta, Clarke is in danger of going an entire season without winning a tournament for the first time since 1997.
