Poor Paul McGinley: “I understand the inside track is that it’s going to be Darren Clarke."

Aladair Reid buries the lede in this story on Peter Hanson's disappointment with Captain Two-Wrongs-Make-A-Right and Hanson's endorsement of Paul McGinley for the 2014 captaincy. It seems Darren Clarke bumped McGinley at the 3/16th's pole, politicking his way into the 2014 Ryder Cup Captaincy lead.

The stewards may post the Inquiry sign but I'm guessing they won't change the result, since Clarke leads the major tally by one and magically turned into Winston Churchill last week at Medinah when conducting interviews. And yes, even when the alcohol was flowing, ole Winston Churchill Clarke was reciting all of the regal cliches of a wannabe-next captain. Touching stuff, I must say.

From Reid in Telegraph:

The bookmakers agree. But Padraig Harrington was taking a different tack. “I understand the inside track is that it’s going to be Darren Clarke,” Harrington said.
