Darren Clarke and Paul McGinley made it a one two for StrokeAverage.com clients at the KLM Open at Kennemer Golf and Country Club on Sunday.

Both Ryder Cup heros have used the golf performance analysis services at StrokeAverage.com for anumber of years and Darren Clarke's victory made him the fourth client of StrokeAverage.com to win twice within the last twelve months.

Darren Clarke's final round 66 for a 16 under par total came a little late for an automatic Ryder Cup spot, but Nick Faldo issues two Captain’s Picks next Sunday and Darren Clarke is firmly in the hunt.

The Ulsterman now heads to the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles determined to make his inclusion in a sixth straight Ryder Cup Team a certainty.

"It's nice to win knowing that I had to play well and then actually doing it," said the man who was an inspiration to the last European side by winning all three of his games.

"I had two weeks to try to impress Nick. The first is out of the way and I seem to have done that.

"I don't know if I have done enough, but I'm going to Gleneagles in better shape and hopefully he will take notice.

"It’s his call and if he thinks there are other guys more deserving of a pick then I have no problem with that whatsoever. That’s why he is the Captain and if he decides not to pick me then whoever is on the plane will be part of really strong Team going there."

Paul McGinley continued a very consistent 2008 with his second top three finish.

His final round 64 was superb, but the member of the last three Ryder Cup Teams conceded that the day belonged to Darren Clarke.

"It was a good effort, but all credit to Darren," Paul McGinley commented."There are only two Picks, so it's a tight situation, but I'm going to have to win (in Scotland) to give myself a chance.

"As everybody knows, it's about winning. I've no complaints - I've not played well enough, but there's one more event and I'll certainly be giving it 101%."

Three automatic Ryder Cup places are still up for grabs and by finishing 34th, eighth-placed Justin Rose confirmed he will head to Gleneagles to make sure of his selection.

Dane Soren Hansen finished joint sixth and moves above Oliver Wilson into ninth spot on the Ryder Cup standings. They will all be trying to hold off Martin Kaymer, Ian Poulter and StrokeAverage.com clients Ross Fisher and Nick Dougherty at Gleneagles this week.
