Jackie King released a statement to the media today advising that The King's Court has re-signed Dwight Clark to a one-year contract extension, a move that will ensure Clark's return to the same team he led to a share of the King Invitational Cup title in 2009.
Clark, a native of Walnut Cove, NC, was the 2nd overall pick in last year's King Invitational draft and the first player selected to represent The King's Court. Clark lost his opening round two-man best ball match with partner Jay Whitt in 2009, despite two skins and a greenie that netted him $48.00 and a lead for the overall money title.
A 2-up victory over Chris Morris in match play on Saturday produced two more skins for Clark and netted him a total of $100.00 after two days, leaving him poised for a big final round with partner and team captain, Jackie King. However, Clark's driver went awry and his iron play soured in a 5-and-3 loss to Chad Hedrick and Tom Dugan and The King's Court watched as the outright win slipped from their grasp.
Said King in today's press release: "I'm not worried about Dwight's Sunday meltdown. A lot of people have been comparing it to Delhomme's playoff game vs. the Cardinals (in 2008) and point to the fact that it was a precursor to worse things to come in 2009. But, I don't see it having an effect on Dwight. He's pretty thick-skinned. Hell, of his 130 pounds, he's 100 pounds of skin. No worries for this season."
King indicated that a strong showing in 2010 could lead to Clark's being named The King's Court's franchise player proceeding the 2011 event.
