Jamie Donaldson held off the challenges of Søren Kjeldsen and Bradley Dredge to win the D+D REAL Czech Masters and book a Ryder Cup debut at Gleneagles next month.
In need of a top-seven finish to secure a place on Paul McGinley’s European Team, the Welshman completed the task in style by claiming a third European Tour title at Albatross Golf Resort in Prague.
A four under par 68 saw him reverse a two shot deficit on compatriot Dredge by finishing with a 14 under total.

Donaldson has had a solid year around the world. Those on this side of the pond will remember him at the WGC – Cadillac Championship, where only Patrick Reed finished ahead of him and Bubba Watson, who tied for second, in a star-studded field.
That performance brought home more than half a million Euro for the easy-going Welshman, who followed that notable display with another high-class week at the Masters Tournament where a tie for 14th further outlined his credentials in the big events.

None will be bigger than the Ryder Cup at Gleneagles and I am telling you this guy will continue the legacy of furiously competitive Welshmen like Dai Rees, and Brian Hugget who battled to the end against the overwhelming odds in the days when the US stars dominated the event.
