When you’ve been playing the game as long as Darren Clarke has then there’s good reason to love what you’re doing. That’s still very much the scenario for the now 57-year-old Northern Irishman and in now his 36th year in the pro ranks. Even from an early age, Clarke seemed he would go on to forge a pretty decent career in the club-and-ball game winning five prestigious amateur championships in the months ahead of turning pro as a then 21-year-old in 1991.

Lowry, and contesting the event for a ninth occasion, eventually shared ...

It has been six years and seven months since Lowry brought his beloved Ireland to a standstill in capturing the 2019 PGA Tour sanctioned Open Championship at Royal Portrush. Yes, ...
