It was a One-Two for HSPSE students as Darren Clarke came from four behind to capture his 13th European Tour title at the Iberdrola Open in Mallorca.

The Northern Irishman who works with Putting Coach Phil Kenyon used all his experience to grind out a final round 69 and deny another Phil Kenyon Student Chris Wood his maiden victory.

The Ryder Cup Vice Captain had reduced Wood's overnight advantage to one within three holes, but a double bogey at the 11th after finding water looked to have cost him a first win since the 2008 KLM Open.

But Wood encountered numerous problems on the back nine - bogeying 12th and 13th and driving out of bounds at the 15th as he came back in 40, despite coming within millimetres of a hole in one at the last.

Clarke finished in style, holing a putt from the fringe at the 14th, nailing his approach to six feet at the 15th, saved par with a brilliant approach from a fairway bunker and then chipping in to scramble par at the next.

The 42 year old Irishman had 'fine tuned' his putting with Phil Kenyon in the practice days of the event (see Mallorca Tour Report) which led to a solid display on the greens to finish six under par total at the Pula GC. Wood tied for second with compatriot David Lynn.
