ugly
Luckily, I missed it. Third-day leader Darren Clarke shot 9-over for the last 13 holes at the MCI Heritage, including 3 double bogeys (even on the 18th where he was tied for the lead) and 4 bogeys. After having a 4-stroke lead today at one point, the rest of the day for Clarke was downright ugly, with a bad case of the hooks. Guess it’s time to call Butch Harmon.
Peter Lonard, the guy who won, seemed to shoot just as bad, +4 for the day. Ugly. But Peter will take it…his first win on the PGA tour.
Said Clarke of his round: “I felt like a 36-handicapper.”
UPDATE: Ron Sirak has this excellent article “Nowhere to Hide,” discussing what happens when the wheels come unhinged in golf.
