McDowell introduced Clarke to Campbell on a blind date in 2009 and they got engaged to be married days before Christmas last year.

Campbell runs a Belfast-based modeling agency and was named Miss Northern Ireland in 1982.

Winner of last year's British Open at Royal St. George's, Clarke credited her with helping to pick him up after the death of his first wife, Heather, in 2006, after she succumbed to breast cancer.

After his first Major victory in 2011, he said the win was "for the kids", referring to his two sons from his marriage to Heather.
