Clarke's focus on making Ryder Cup team

golf

Darren Clarke is determined to get back onto Europe's Ryder Cup team. Clarke played in the 2006 Ryder Cup just six weeks after his wife, Heather, died of cancer. He won all three of his matches at The K Club, helping Europe keep the trophy by a record-tying 18-1/2 points to 9-1/2 margin over the Americans. Clarke's main target this year is to be on the team again at Valhalla in September. To do that, he is skipping the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines in California next month.
