Robin Clarke in Pepsi Whiteoaks Open
NIAGARA-ON-THE-LAKE, Ont. – Robin Clarke of Ottawa lost a close
championship final to top-seed Jan Koukal of the Czech Republic on

tournament.
Clarke, the tournament’s third-seed, fell 11-6, 10-12, 13-15, 11-8,
11-5 in 58 minutes to Koukal who is ranked 58th in the world.
Despite the loss it was a strong tournament for Clarke currently

Scott Arnold of Australia in another five-game thriller that lasted
85 minutes.
