He came home in 20pts thanks to a three-point par at 13 and two three-point bogeys at 12 and 18. He scored two points at the remaining holes apart from the 10th where a double bogey seven yielded one point.
Playing off 20, Clarke opened with 22pts which included three-point returns on each of the first four holes followed by successive two-points returns on the next three holes, a one point at the eighth and a three-point par at the nine.
That was followed by a 17-point haul over the first five holes down the back nine which included four-point returns at the 10th and 13th. Eight more points followed over the final four holes, including a three-point par at the 16th, as Clarke came home in 25pts for 47pts which turned out to be one point short of overall victory.
