DUBAI — The manager of 2011 British Open champion Darren Clarke says he will play as scheduled in India next week, despite being injured in a minor car accident. Andrew Chandler says Clarke suffered a stiff neck and “just needed to rest this week” after a car in which he was a passenger got into an accident. He says the accident was last week but didn’t say where or who was driving. Clarke will be one of 24 players taking part in next week’s inaugural Pearl Golf Premier League. The event, inspired by cricket’s Indian Premier League, features eight franchises which have bought the players at an auction. — AFP
