Darren Clarke birdies 72nd hole to win Senior Open Championship at Gleneagles Hotel Kings Course

Darren Clarke stalked the upcoming shot, seeking to determine what exactly he wanted to do.

The Northern Irishmen changed into sitting just off the green on his 72nd hollow

Senior Open Championship at Gleneagles hotel Kings path in Auchterarder, Scotland.

Clarke and Padraig Harrington were tied on the leaderboard, but if Clarke

discovered a manner to birdie the final hole, he might be triumphant.

Heavy rains brought on disruptions to the very last round, so Clarke needed to

determine whether or not to putt from the green short of the par-5 18th or to chip it

He went with a putter, and it became a top notch preference.
