Golf-Clarke skippers Europe to lopsided EurAsia Cup win (Reuters)

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 17 (Reuters) - Europe's Ryder Cup captain Darren Clarke secured an encouraging first triumph as skipper on Sunday as his side romped to a lopsided victory over hosts Asia in the EurAsia Cup.

Englishman Danny Willett secured the trophy after beating South Korea's An Byeong-hun 3&1 in the singles, giving Europe an unassailable 13-3 lead with eight matches still to be finished at the Glenmarie Golf Club in Kuala Lumpur.

Europe began the day with a 9-3 lead after taking 4 1/2 points in both Friday's fourball and Saturday's foresome sessions, and the 12-man team showed no mercy in the singles as they continued to pummel Jeev Milkha Singh's struggling side.
