Darren Clarke has not given up on being one of Nick Faldo's wild card picks for the Ryder Cup as he prepares for this week's KLM Dutch Open.

Clarke has taken part in the last five events, receiving a wild card two years ago from captain Ian Woosnam before winning all three of his matches.

Clark, currently 25th in the standings with just two tournaments remaining, will almost certainly require a wild card from Faldo to make the trip to Valhalla next month.

And wanting to make it six in a row, he knows he needs to impress with some good performances, starting in Zandfoort on Thursday.
