Luke Donald heads the leaderboard of the BMW PGA Championship after the first round at Wentworth after 'one of the best rounds' he has ever played.
After talking the talk Luke Donald walked the walk at Wentworth on Thursday, backing up his claim to be the best player in the world with a seven-under-par round of 64 that provoked admiration and disbelief in equal measure from his peers.
"One of the best rounds I have ever played," the Englishman said. He should know, although there was plenty of supporting evidence for such a bold assertion, not least the first-round leaderboard at the BMW Championship. Donald, ranked No2 in the world.
Significantly, Lee Westwood is eight shots adrift of the man who could replace him as world No1 come Sunday afternoon. No cause is ever lost after 18 holes but the Englishman's one-over-par 72 left him deflated – a mood that was not helped by a visit from the tour's doping control officers after he completed his round. "I don't know why they were drug testing me. They should have drug-tested Luke after that 64," he said, wryly.
If Donald finishes ahead of Westwood on Sunday then he will become the new world No1. "That is far from what I am thinking about," he said. "The goal is to try and win this event and if I finish ahead of Lee, great."
"Seven under is an exceptional score. He's hitting every fairway, every green and he's putting extremely well," said the former Ryder
Once upon a time Donald, a modest soul, might have shied away from such praise. These days he appears to embrace it, just as he appears to embrace the attention that is coming his way. On Wednesday he was happy to identify himself as the world's best player – to hell with the world rankings that have him listed as No2.
On a fast-running course, with the wind swirling, Donald did exactly that, covering his opening nine holes in 31 shots, four under par. He had four more birdies on the back nine, a streak of excellence leavened only by a slack approach shot on the 12th hole that cost him a bogey five.
"I pretty much had total control of my ball, which doesn't happen very often," he said. "I was just seeing the shots and I was able to hit them. I guess I felt a little bit invincible. There were a few iron shots that could have been a little bit more on line, but most of them went just where I saw them going."
By the way, I would like to give you two websites. The companies are engaged in selling golf products online. The price is quite eye-catching.
