Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I te ahua o te ahua o George Clooney, i haina a Darren Clarke mo tana mahi tuatahi hei rangatira mo te Ryder Cup o Uropi. E 550 ngā rā e toe ana i mua i te haerenga a Clarke me ana tangata ki Minnesota ki te whakamātau ki te whakahoki mai i te tohu <unk> ā, he maha o aua rā ka whakakiia ki te momo mahi pāpāho i noho ai ia i te Sofitel i te Terminal Five o Heathrow. Kāore e kore ka raru pea a Clarke ki te kōrero i ētahi wā, engari kāore i pēnei i tēnei wā i a ia e kōrero ana mō Rory McIlroy me ētahi atu take tika, tae atu ki tētahi kōrero ohorere e pā ana ki te Ryder Cup. Ko Darren Clarke te kaitiaki o Ūropi i te Ryder Cup o te tau e whai ake nei ki Minneapolis. Ko te toa o mua o te Open e mau ana i te tohu i runga i tana whakatuunga tuatahi hei rangatira. I muri i te wikitoria whānui i Gleneagles i te wā whakamutunga i te tau 2014, ko te hiahia nui kia mau tonu ngā mea katoa engari kei te whakaaro a Clarke ki tētahi huringa iti ki te mahere. E whakaaro ana ia ki te ako i nga raraunga mo nga kaari mohoao i roto i te whakataetae i mua i te whakatau mena ka taunaki ki te tapahi i to raatau nama mai i te toru ki te rua. Ae ra, he tautohetohe kei ngā taha e rua. Ka waiho pea e ia he kōwhiringa iti ki te kore e taea e te nuinga o nga kaitākaro o runga te tohu aunoa engari he take e rite ana te kaha ki te kii ko te tangata e mutu ana i te 10 o nga waahi e tika ana kia uru ki te kapa ma te tika. Ahakoa tēnei tawhiti atu i a Clarke, he mārama tonu, ahakoa, ko wai hei rangatira o te kapa <unk> me McIlroy anake. E mohio ana a Clarke ki te Ulsterman 25 tau te pakeke mai i mua i te taiohi o McIlroy. "He mea motuhake tonu a Rory i a ia e tamariki ana, he kaitākaro korowha", te kī a Clarke. <unk> He rerekē ia i ētahi atu katoa, ā, kei te rerekē tonu.<unk> Kua tautoko a Clarke i tana hoa whenua a Rory McIlroy ki te whakaoti i tana Grand Slam o nga toa toa e wha. Ka haere te toa toa o te ao ki Augusta i roto i te rua wiki e hiahia ana ki te Masters anake hei whakaoti i tana huinga. Kei te harikoa te kaipuke ki te kite i te āhua o McIlroy i te Masters i te marama e whai ake nei, engari he mea kotahi tonu: Ka whakaoti a Rory i te mahi Grand Slam i tētahi rā....
