“We know each other inside out, and I know what I can expect from in in the Ryder Cup, and I think he’ll have a great chance of qualifying for the team next year”.

“I have a feeling Phil’s going to be strongly motivated to make the next team, and obviously Tiger wants to get healthy and play”.

Clarke has always admired Love and referenced him when being praised for his own act of sportsmanship when declining to go for the green and instead chipping out on to the fairway when his lie was improved by fans at the 2006 Irish Open. “Believe me, Jeev is going to have a very strong team so hopefully the guys from Europe will be up for the fight”.
