Clarke: No pain, no gain

Open champion raring to go



Darren Clarke claims he is a "lean, mean, fighting machine" ahead of his seasonal return in South Africa.

The Open champion, awarded an OBE in the New Year's Honours, has been off the booze and in the gym ahead of the Volvo Golf Champions at Fancourt.

Brilliant and career-defining though his victory at Sandwich was - coming 20 years after his first attempt to lift the Claret Jug - the last five months of 2011 were a big let-down for the 43-year-old Northern Irishman and he does not want the same to be true of 2012.

"My golf career has been extended somewhat by winning the Open Championship and I just thought that enough is enough and it was time to get myself into better shape," he said.

As soon as the Christmas festivities were over Clarke began working with Belfast-based fitness expert Jonny Bloomfield, recommended to him by stable-mate Lee Westwood's trainer Steve MacGregor. - http://www1.skysports.com
