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.

It is a coveted title in the world of golf and English professional golfer Luke Donald can claim to be the best golfer to have never won a major event. The world’s number one ranked golfer was overdrew previous weekend at the Olympic Club, San Francisco in the US Open, where he hit 79 – 72 and escaped the cut by 3 shots.

On Thursday, before going to the Ralph Lauren shop on the Madison Avenue, he told that it was really disappointing when one comes with huge expectations and feeling confident. The US Open is difficult every time. Each and every error is magnified. He was not swinging quite well. It was very dissatisfactory for the 34 year old golfer, but still one always have to learn and have more opportunities.

Luke clearly believes about the scopes that have bygone by wayside in his thirty-yhree starts in major events since turning into professional in the year 2001. After 4 years, 13 professional victories, and 2 simultaneous money awards on both Europe and America previous year, Luke has started to adjoin on a theory about why major events have been his booger.

He stated that one could not alter his approach mentally. Probably it is a place that he has to think about it. He thinks that probably he needs to play a bit more conservatively. And that is something he could work on. He needs to play from inside, it is not that you just go home and start dreaming that you will play good tomorrow.

World number two Luke Donald seemed to finish like a train at the final rounds of the US PGA Players Championship – but then, went on to put all the flight plans on hold as the Englishman found himself with an opportunity to take the title at The Players Championship at the TPC Sawgrass. Donald started the last round at the TPC Sawgrass from 27th position but he went on to equal the record that is set at the richest event of golf with a back nine 30 that contained as many as six birdies.

Having set the club house target of nine under par with the 66 that he pulled off, Donald found himself tied for third spot in the leader board, when he was only two shots behind the leader. But this was as much due to his credit as to the discredit of Kevin Na, the American shooting two nervous bogeys at the fifth and the sixth holes. At that time, Luke Donald was in a position to reclaim the top spot in the world golf rankings if he could finish the event with a solo fourth or better than that and he found himself there in the company of Martin Laird.

Speaking to the reporters after the event, Donald stated that all of a sudden, all the putts seemed to click in and he managed to get a nice run. Moreover, the wind direction also favored him and so did the greens, which were holding out.

But in spite of all his efforts, he still had to see Matt Kuchar lift the title for the first time and he congratulated him as well. Luke Donald also added that he was scheduled to fly to Chicago but when he saw a chance, he decided to stick around for some more time, but in vain, as it turned out.
