Clarke is big in Japan

Darren Clarke ended 12 months without a win today when a closing 30-foot eagle putt gave him victory in the Visa Taiheiyo Masters in Jaan for the second year running.

The 37-year-old Ryder Cup star, joint leader with Hideki Kase with a round to play, was one ahead on the final tee after getting up and down from sand on the 17th.
