Jeev Milkha Singh, Asia’s captain and a good friend of Clarke’s, was quick to share his excitement for the event, and for a potential catch-up drink with the Northern Irishman
Looking forward to locking horns with my good friend @DarrenClarke60 - we will play hard and laugh a lot over Guinness in the evening.
