Isn't it fabulous to see an obviously decent bloke winning against the odds?
Darren Clarke is a golfer who is deemed worthy enough to be sent two Good Luck texts by Tiger Woods. He is such a nice guy that his two closest American rivals deliberately played a fistful of crappy shots to make sure that he won.
He also managed a Presentational Triumph that nicely topped off the golfing one.
Darren's acceptance speech could have been an uncomfortable experience for millions of people. Despite feeling enormous sympathy for him, we really did not want to see him cry. Again.
But he had clearly thought carefully about his words. And prepared some brief notes that he used as something to focus on under pressure. That is how he controlled his emotions, instead of allowing his emotions to control him.
This was Super Darren's day. Not even a kryptonite microphone would have stopped him.
