Clark needs to break his duck

Tim Clark needs this elusive first PGA Tour win of his career, but he wasted a great chance by failing to take the Crowne Plaza International title on Sunday.

Clark has finished second six times on the Tour, including this tournament last year, where he was beaten when Phil Mickelson birdied the final hole.

Everyone appreciates how consistent he is, he has a major game, puts it on the green and doesn’t make too many mistakes. But really, you have to win.

I thought that the chances of Clark winning in Texas depended on how many greens he hit on his final round on Sunday.

He is not a great chipper, so if he hit 15 greens out of 18 he was going to win. Thirteen or less and he probably wouldn’t, and yet he went out and put pressure on himself from the start by missing early fairways. He only hit six of the first ten, which was worse than any of his other rounds.
