The hype for RM was stupid, before the Open started radio 5live were basically talking about who was going to come 2nd!

Darren Clarke's a prick, seen him at the open a few times always refusing to sign anything that wasn't scrappy bits of paper for a kids that didn't even know who he was and generally being a bit of a rude twat and this was about 10 years ago

How come you were at The Open?
If it was during play then I completely understand and wouldn't have signed anything at all.
I noticed during play that he never gave his ball to anyone that asked for it, instead giving it to a boy who was just standing there cheering him on.
You could well be right though, maybe he is a bit of a prick when the camera's not on him.

I wasn't there this year but went for about 5 years in a row a while back, my Dad likes golf. It was always on practice days and he was always being a miserable twat when ever I saw him, most of them tend to be pleasant enough and will chat with you sign whatever but Clarke was on a par with Greg Norman for being arrogant rude dick.
I seen woods do a similar thing with some kid and his ball.

Shame really cos I always rated Norman but have since noticed he's full of shit.

Been lucky enough to meet a number of my idols and they've all been very gracious. Especially a certain M. Schumacher, who my wife just missed knocking over.
