Clarke Returns After Hamstring Tennis Injury

Former Open champion Darren Clarke returns to action this week after missing nearly six weeks with a hamstring injury caused by playing tennis.

The injury forced him to miss the first major of the year at Augusta, but the Northern Irishman is back to full fitness and will be playing golf in this week’s Indonesian Masters in Jakarta. 

It’s been tough for Clarke sitting around doing nothing for the past few weeks, and very frustrating watching his fellow professionals battling it out at the Masters on television, but after a full recovery he can’t wait to be out on the fairways once again.

Hugo will lead a field of veteran professionals and promising young players in the R600 000 event at Glendower Golf Club from 28-30 October, and where he finished fourth last year.

“I would backing myself going into this week,” said Hugo. “With the European Tour Qualifying School just a few weeks off, I’m definitely in tournament mode. My golf game is on solid ground and I’m hungry to win again.”
