"Told it was downhill, Clarke hit back: 'It is. But it ain’t that much f***ing downhill.'”

Thanks to reader Chris for Brian Keogh's item on Darren Clarke criticizing the PGA for the 260-yard 15th at Atlanta Athletic Club.

He added: “Par threes of 150-160 yards long, there’s nothing wrong with that. The Postage Stamp at Troon is just 126 yards and now we get par threes regularly playing 240 yards long.”

If US PGA officials play the 15th from the back tee, Clarke said he could be forced to hit a three-wood.
He said: “It would be a three wood and hit it well or a reload because balls don’t float.

“That’s what it will be and I might not be the only one in that sort of scenario if that’s what they play it as.”

Told it was downhill, Clarke hit back: “It is. But it ain’t that much f***ing downhill.”
