Captain Clarke Practically Penciling In Westwood, Poulter?

Captain Darren Clarke, who guided his team via Club Car to a resounding 18½-5½ victory in something called the EurAsia Cup EURASIA CUP presented by DRB-HICOM, practically named two of his biggest captaincy allies to this fall's European Ryder Cup team.

From a EuropeanTour.com report:

Clarke said: "What Lee and Poults have brought to the team room has been priceless. They have been very, very good. All the young kids have listened to them, they have all learnt from them."

Cart Driver Clarke patted himself on the back for not running over anyone in his first go behind the wheel.

He added: "I've enjoyed it immensely. It's been a wonderful learning experience for me. I've been around the game a long time and done most things in the game and been fortunate to do so.

"This is different. I really enjoyed it. The guys seemed to listen to what I had to say, and if my little part of it has helped them along, then well be it."
