The Players Championship

Westwood wilts down home straight: Clark the winner

Lee Westwood led almost everywhere - except over the winning line in The Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass, Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.
The Englishman stumbled badly down the stretch, closing with a 74 to tie for fourth place. He hit a shot into the water at the infamous short 17th island hole.
Victory in the richest golf event in the world - a prize of more than one million dollars - went to South African Tim Clark, his first-ever US PGA Tour victory.
Clark produced a five-birdie blitz over six holes to set up victory over Australia's Robert Allenby.
Clark began the day three behind Westwood, but unleashed a blitz over six holes to vault into the lead. Clark began his run on the seventh, parred the eighth and then reeled off birdies on nine, 10, 11 and 12 to take the lead.
Westwood began disastrously, bogeying the first, but bounced back with birdies on two and five, but dropped back to 14-under-par with a bogey on 14. He was fortunate not to drop another on the next, but putted in for par from off the green.
Westwood then crashed out of contention completely when taking a double bogey 5 on the island green 17th.
