Clarke Skippers Europe to Lopsided EurAsia Cup Win

KUALA LUMPUR — Europe's Ryder Cup captain Darren Clarke secured an encouraging first triumph as skipper on Sunday as his side romped to a blowout 18 1/2 - 5 1/2 victory over hosts Asia in the EurAsia Cup.

Englishman Danny Willett secured the trophy after beating South Korea's An Byeong-hun 3&1 in the singles, giving Europe an unassailable 13-3 lead even though there were eight matches still to finish at the Glenmarie Golf Club in Kuala Lumpur.

Clarke's men continued the push for points as they racked up a huge winning margin with an outclassed Asia recording only 2 1/2 points out of a possible 12 on Sunday.
