Darren Clarke continued his late push for a Ryder Cup wildcard selection by making a solid start to the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles.

Clarke, following on from his victory at the KLM Open, carded a one-under round of 72 on Thursday.

Rory McIlroy opened with a 76 while Graeme McDowell had a 78.

Clarke is hoping to be one of European captain Nick Faldo's two wildcard selections in the Ryder Cup team which will be revealed on Sunday night.
