DARREN CLARKE HAS collected his OBE from Queen Elizebeth II at Buckingham Palace today.

The Northern Ireland golfer was named in the new year’s honours after this success at the Open last year.

The 44-year-old helped Europe to a famous, comeback victory against the USA in Chicago in September as vice-captain.

    I’ve got a feeling that Judge may become Dunphy’s new love child now that Wessi has retired. He’ll be the man with “a bit of guile”!!
