Northern Irelandโ€™s Darren Clarke finished off a very consistent tournament to go on and win the 2011 British Open. Remarkably enough this is Clarkeโ€™s first major tour win and only his fourth career tournament win.

Clarke opened Thursday shooting 2-under and 3 shots back of the leader but quickly shot ahead by shooting a solid 68, 68, 69 and 70.

Dustin Johnson and Phil Mickelson tied for second at 2-under while Rickie Fowler earned his first top five by finishing the open even par.
