Darren Clarke Staring At Possible Hernia Surgery.
Darren Clarke could be facing more than just a groin strain with fears he may be carrying a hernia that would result in surgery.
Clarke admitted he was still in considerable discomfort after carding a respectable one over par 73 on day one of the 2012 Masters.

As Art suggested: “There’s no fun being ...
