He would never lose his playing status until he became eligible for the Australian Senior's Tour. He is most known from his "Infamous Putt" which resulted in a one stroke penalty. As the putt was traveling towards the hole, Clayton twirled his putter in the air, but it slipped. He dove toward the putter and knocked it into the ball. The ball then hit Clayton as he was lying on the green.〔(Video of the putt ) - Youtube〕 Clayton also plays on the European Seniors Tour. ==Amateur wins (6)== *1977 Victorian Amateur *1978 Australian Amateur, Korean Amateur *1981 Victorian Amateur, Riversdale Cup, Dutch Amateur 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Michael Clayton (golfer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
