Luke Donald started this week receiving the highest honour the European Tour could bestow upon him, and ended with a very classy defence of his PGA Championship and a return to the #1 spot in the world, for the 4th time..
Back at Wentworth, where he seems so comfortable, days after receiving a lifetime membership from Commissioner George O'Grady, Donald shot -4 68 to beat Scotsman Paul Lawrie 66 and England's Justin Rose 70 both at -11 by 4 shots.
Donald was at his best today, wonderfully square, balanced and accurate with his irons, wedges and putter, constantly repetitive with his classic swing and this week his driver was co-operating, he was the Luke that had such a remarkable 2011 season, and remember it was his win here over Lee Westwood that really was the catalyst to winning the Player of The Year awards on both sides of the pond. Last year it went down to the last shot, this year it was a coronation from the 15th hole in..
He now heads for the US Open at the Olympic Club in San Francisco (June 14) in search of his first major, as one of the pre tourney favourites. He will make a stop next week at Jack's Memorial tournament along with Rory, Rickie, Tiger, Phil amongst a stellar field.
