    Clarke is hitting it beautifully all week so far... Will he keep it up though? He always seems to have a bad round in most tournaments - hopefully not this week...

    When Darren plays like this he looks as good as any golfer in the world... Totally effortless...

    Keep it up Man...

    I'd love clarke to win one, he's overdue a win. Especially considering whats going on in his private life at the moment.

    He's playing well though

    He's actually put a fair bit of weight back on believe it or not... A couple of years ago when in contention for the US Open, Clarke found that he suffered in the heat and humidity due to his - then excessive - weight in the final round...

    He then lost a whole heap of weight - I'd say definitely more than four stone, maybe five or six? - as a result of a manic diet/workout regime... He's since put some back on, intentionally I think because his new-found slimmer physique had knocked his swing out of kilter a bit and I would also assume that with his personal problems working out and hitting the gym have taken on a much lesser priority in his life...

    Fancy Ollie myself as an outside bet as this is not a Tiger course...it will all come down to who is the tidiest arond the greens. There's none better than Ollie.

    My bets with Paddypower.com:

    €2 e/w McDowell @ 125/1
    €2 e/w Ollie @ 50/1
    €2 e/w Dodd @ 200/1
    €2 e/w McGinley @ 100/1

    May lay some down on Harrington & Luke Donald also. At this rate I'll have bets on half the field by tmw night!!

    I give Tim Clark a shout for the Open, myself. He's been on good form lately.
    Got him at 66/1.
