The Englishman Luke Donald goes off to a flier at the opening round of the Deutsche Bank Championship. He scored a 4-under par 67 and was held in the 10th place.

The current world number 2 hit six birdies at the opening round at TPC Boston in Norton. But there were two bogies that he couldn’t avoid. The topper of that round, Seung-Yul Noh, who scored 9-under par 62 without a bogey, is five strokes ahead of Donald.

Donald started early in the morning and he felt that he was fortunate to have a better weather condition. He anticipated a breezy weather in the afternoon which wouldn’t be a comfortable one for him. When asked about the condition Luke Donald told that the breeze was starting to blow a bit and it was safe for him that he played earlier in the morning. But according to him the pitch was wonderful. He loves to play in TPC Boston because he has a feeling of comfort here, as he argued.

Though Donald has made a really good start but it could have been a better one if he could skip the bogeys in the 8th and 17th hole. He himself said that he was not sure how that happened. Apart from that Luke Donald is having a wonderful time. He thrice finished in top-10 in the last four events that he participated. He also came victorious at the Transitions Championship 2012 where he defeated Jim Furyk and Robert Garrgus at the playoffs.

The Englishman, who lost his number one spot to Rory Mcllory at the PGA Championship, 2012, tried to get it back in the Barclays 2012 but only managed to hold the 10th spot. On this week the world number one spot can again be shifted to Luke Donald because of his double win at the PGA Tour 2012.

Golf’s world number one Luke Donald believes that a win in the British Open will happen to him, eventually. Having missed a cut at the US Open earlier in the season, Donald mounted a comeback of sorts and finished at T-5 in the recently concluded Major event, finishing level with fellow British golfer Graeme McDowell. Recording a one under par 69 in the last round of the event, Donald was able to match McDowell’s score of two under par score in the tournament. This is the second time that he finished with a T-5 at Turnberry, having achieved the same feat back in the 2009 edition of The Open Championship.

Many golf commentators hail Donald for the way he never gives and fights on till the last shot of a tournament. As a result, his performance in the final day at Royal Lytham did not come as a surprise to many. And according to Luke Donald, one can learn a lot from his poor performances of the past, just the way he did from his nightmarish performance at the US Open.

Donald also stated that failing to reach one’s own expectations affects the game a lot and his mental strength at the British Open was almost zero, and as a result, he is considering his performances this week as a huge improvement in terms of his future achievements.

And now, he believes that he has the capability and the ability to take the Claret Jug from the Open Championship and plans on achieving the feat soon. And another good news for Luke Donald was the way Lee Westwood as well as Rory McIlroy, the closest rivals he has in terms of the world rankings, finished a long way down the leader board. And Donald hopes a little bit of luck will land him the title in the future.
