Darren Clarke Quotations

We had a few chats. Personal issues. If you ever have to go through it, you'd know.

We had a few chats. A personal nature, but we had a few chats.

I have a feeling I might get lucky after coming so close last year.

Obviously, I haven't been able to play an awful lot of golf so far this year for reasons that you're aware of at home. So, you know, it's good to shoot a good score on a very, very tough golf course. ... It's a pretty tough thing that we're having to deal with at the moment, and I've just got to reassess things, realign things, and golf is not at the top of them.

People are always saying that Darren is an underachiever. He is a superb driver of the ball, maybe the best in the world. Tiger Woods, I know, would buy Darren's driving. He's a great long-iron player and a pretty good medium iron player. But he's a relatively poor wedge player. And that is what holds him back.

Just making sure the boys are okay is my priority in life, and that takes up all of my time right now.

I can't believe I've done what I've done.

Forest of Arden was great for me. I couldn't finish outside the top five there no matter how hard I tried!

I was fighting it left all day, just enough to get myself in difficult positions to get up and down. The par 5s have been good to be all week, and the three places I missed, I didn't get good lies.

That's the nature of sport, if you look at how Europe has performed they have found a way to win but golf is cyclical and there's not much between the teams.
