Clarke comes roaring back in Hong Kong

Darren Clarke stormed into contention on the second morning of the UBS Hong Kong Open with a flawless six-under-par front nine at an overcast Hong Kong Golf Club.

Clarke began his second round with a hat-trick of birdies in chilly conditions before reaching the turn in identical fashion to move within a shot of overnight leader Udorn Duangdecha alongside Robert-Jan Derksen at seven-under-par.
