Clarke ends an emotional and successful week
The tears flowed freely. The hugs were too many to count.
Ian Woosnam unlocked himself from an embrace with Darren Clarke, then took Clarke's arm and lifted it into the air - a champion's salute for a player who was every bit a champion and more.
Six weeks after his wife, Heather, died of cancer, Clarke got to celebrate camaraderie, friendship and a European victory Sunday in the Ryder Cup. He shed tears of sadness and joy.
