Clarke claims Sun City lead

A flawless round of 67 from Darren Clarke gave him the outright lead in a star-studded 12-man field at the Nedbank Golf Challenge in Sun City.

The Ulsterman’s five-under-par total at the Gary Player Country Club put him one ahead of American Jim Furyk, the only other player not to drop a shot on the opening day of the £2.3million event.
