    Darren Clarke Replaces Harrington on European Ryder Cup Team.

    Valhalla Golf Club, Kentucky, immediate release



    The European Team was today in shock after Ryder Cup captain Nick Faldo announced that Open and USPGA winner, Padraig Harrington was leaving the team to be replaced by Darren Clarke.



    Citing stress and high cholesterol as his main reasons, Harrington felt obliged to pull out of the event. In a statement to the press he said “I found myself in a position where I had to choose between my family, my career and my future”. The popular Irish man apologised to his team members and “wished Team Europe well.”



    Faldo had only minutes left to find a replacement with the event due to start in 48 hours. In a press conference he said “Darren was the obvious choice.” Clarke is believed to be flying stateside at present.

    LMAO at the comments under the video.

    "I think I slept with Darren Clarke last Christmas, I'd be surprised if he could last 9 holes if you know what I mean... :-)"

    "Jayney, dis is terrible, who is this Clarke spanner? Does he really play off 0"
