High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In American sports terminology, "clutch" means performing well under extreme pressure. It often refers to high levels of production in a critical game, such as Game 7 of a best-of-seven series, the last hole of a Major Championship golf tournament, or the final minute(s) in a close match. Being "clutch" is often seen by sportswriters and fans as an innate skill which some players have while others do not. The term "clutch" is also using in modern first person shooter games, usually in tactical game modes where the survivor of a team kills the remaining enemy team by himself.
