Clarke Win Helps Heal Wounds

Hello. Congrats to Darren Clarke for winning the Asian Open Sunday. It was his first win anywhere in 5 years, and the first since his wife Heather's passing in 2006.
While I'm sure nothing will ever replace the feelings they shared, and her loss will be with him for a long time, Darren Clarke's win had to help his wounds heal.
I'm man enough to admit I cry when certain sports moments happen. Chandra Crawford winning a cross-country gold. Cathy Overton-Clapham winning a world curling title after so many years trying. But nothing made me cry as much as the 2006 Ryder Cup when Europe won it with and for Darren Clarke. It was such an emotional ourpouring it still makes me cry thinking about it.
While Clarke played very well in the Ryder Cup, and the experience was one he'll cherish, this win had to feel very special too. It vaulted him from David Duval world rankings up to the top 125, which may not seem like much, but is significant. Clarke is now in position to be considered for the 2008 Ryder Cup, something which wouldn't have been the case last week.
Congrats again Darren!

Regards,
Steve
