Clarke makes light of heavy rain

Darren Clarke, no stranger to playing well in bad weather, did it again at Loch Lomond today and stood four clear of the field after a superb second-round 67 in the Barclays Scottish Open.

But Masters champion Phil Mickelson, who needed a top-two finish to replace Tiger Woods as world number one, slumped to a quintuple bogey nine on one hole and after a 74 was left waiting to see if he had survived the halfway cut.
