You know planking, right? Lie flat and have somebody take your picture? Yeah, I think we've reached the end of that line ... a little sooner than this poor fellow expected.

(Hey, there's nothing going on in the golf world right now. It was either this or another Tiger Woods article.)

b0725clarkeHey, get this: Winning a golf tournament can be good for the bottom line!

Darren Clarke, who won the Open Championship last week in such memorable fashion, was apparently on the edge of financial collapse, according to manager Chubby Chandler in the Daily Mail.

"The timing could not have been better," Chandler said in a bout of honesty that Clarke may or may not have welcomed. "Darren has had a big cash flow problem."

Not an issue for now. Clarke won €999,000 as his purse at the Open, plus a €2.2 million bonus from sponsors Sports Direct and Dunlop. That's about $4.9 million in current exchange rates.

Clarke had apparently overextended himself in real estate, according to Chandler, and the purchase of a plane with Lee Westwood really hammered him. "He lost a lot of money on the jet," Chandler said. "They bought it when the prices were sky high and sold it with the price at rock bottom."

Clarke still is trying to sell a property listed at €5.5 million, but having a fast chunk of change

On Sunday, as you can see in the video above, amateur Harris English pulled off two astounding shots to come from behind and win the 2011 Children's Hospital Invitational. Great story, right? And get this: the guy he beat, John Peterson, is also an amateur. English is the third amateur, the second this year, to win on the Nationwide Tour. Add in Patrick Cantlay, who posted a top-10 finish at the RBC Canadian, and Tom Lewis, who had a memorable run at the Open Championship, and you're looking at a bona fide movement.

Heck with the Young Guns like Rory McIlroy, Ryo Ishikawa and Rickie Fowler; friends, we're looking at the Baby Guns here.

Impressive, yes. Thing is, some of these cats may talk an even bigger game than they play. Like Peterson, for instance, who made one of the great giant-balatas quotes of the year:

"The top guys in college, the top 20 or 30 guys, can beat the top 20, 30 guys on the PGA Tour," Peterson said. "Maybe with the exception of two or three guys who are

It was a quiet weekend in the world of golf, but there were still plenty of lovely shots all over the leaderboard. In particular, check out the approaches of Lucas Glover, eventual RBC Canadian winner Sean O'Hair, and many others. If you approach the green like a drunken best man stumbling into a wedding cake, you might want to watch these a few times. Enjoy.

b0426tigerWe all knew this day was coming, we just didn't think it was coming so soon. Tiger Woods has dropped out of the world top 20, a moment which we've all anticipated in the last few months, but one which retains major historical significance.

You know the story. Woods hasn't been close to a world-beating golfer since his scandal broke in November 2009. This season, he's played exactly nine holes of competitive golf since Augusta, an ill-fated excursion to The Players Championship in May. And now, he's only ranked No. 21 in the world.

Indeed, perhaps the only surprise surrounding Woods' place in the rankings was the fact that he remained in the top 10 for so long. But the Official World Golf Rankings tally scores based on a rolling two-year average, and since Woods had a successful 2009 -- before Thanksgiving, at least -- he was cruising on past successes.

Which is why he'll be hitting terminal velocity in the rankings before long. We're coming up on the two-year anniversary of a

Sizing up the TV coverage from the RBC Canadian Open ... and away we go.

Tiger Woods hasn't played in a tournament since he withdrew from The Players Championship, but that didn't stop CBS from discussing one of the biggest topics in golf on Saturday afternoon -- that of course being the Tiger Woods-Steve Williams saga.

Ian Baker-Finch, an Aussie who had Williams on his bag during his golf career, gave his take on the situation.

"The [firing] wasn't much of a surprise to me, I must be honest" Baker-Finch said. "I've been a good friend of Steve's for over 30 years, in fact he was my caddie before he went to Greg Norman, so I've known him a long while. We've been talking over the last couple of years, and I think the toughest thing for Steve is that he thought he'd been extremely loyal with Tiger through all of the ups and downs over the last 18 months, and Tiger basically fired him the Sunday of the AT&T, saying he felt he hadn't been loyal. And I think that's what hurt Steve the

We give John Daly a lot of grief around here, so much so that he's even blocked us on Twitter. But credit where credit is due: the man can send a golf ball on a ride. Check out this CBS breakdown of his swing, part of the complete package that gave him a top-10 finish and left him just four strokes behind winner Sean O'Hair at the RBC Canadian Open.

Will Daly ever win again? Perhaps not until the Champions Tour, and perhaps not even then. But as we can see above, he's still got some game. Good on ya, John.

clarkeDid you miss a day or two of Devil Ball this week? No sweat, we've got you covered. Here's what was happening in the wake of Darren Clarke's beer-soaked victory dance:

• Tiger Woods gave caddy Steve Williams his walking papers. Got that resume ready?

• Rory McIlroy didn't win at Royal St. George's, and he blamed the weather. Bad form, sport.

• Could Sergio Garcia once again be a force in golf? Perhaps ...

• It was a week of weird golf happenings. For instance, a golfer got an ace taken away for his slow play. Another recorded an ace and a double-eagle in one seven-hole stretch. And still another saw his ball disappear into the cup for an ace ... only to pop right back out again.

• Sweet mother of mercy, somebody repaired Charles Barkley's golf swing.

• Brittany Lincicome went to France to play in the Evian Masters. Unfortunately, her clubs got lost along the way.

• Congrats to Sean O'Hair, who won this year's RBC Canadian Open.
