Golf fans are still buzzing about Jonathan Clarks convincing 6 stroke win at the 79th West Virginia Open. Clark started the day two shots off the pace but he used his putter to quickly take the lead and hold it. Two eagle putts helped the cause, and Clark told us his putting was the key, and somewhat of a surprise.  "I don't know how many putts I had but that was the best putting day of my life," said Clark, "putting is not my style. Usually I hit 17 greens and shoot one under, but today I made two eagle putts off the fringe that it just sorta seemed it was my day. At certain times in your life you make some putts that are what it takes to win a championship and fortunately we brought it out today."
