Golf: Clarke takes outright lead in Open
Ulsterman started the day tied for the lead at four under with American Lucas Glover
SANDWICH:
Darren Clarke took the outright lead in the British Open early into the third round using his expertise in wet-weather play to cope with the dreadful playing conditions. The popular 42-year-old Ulsterman started the day tied for the lead at four under with American Lucas Glover and he struck immediately with a birdie at the first. Glover bogeyed, allowing Thomas Bjorn of Denmark to move into second at four-under with a birdie at the first but he then bogeyed the fourth to hand Clarke a two-stroke lead.
