Donald delight

LUKE Donald was last night named the PGA Tour player of the year and said: “That’s a great honour to cap off what has obviously been an amazing year for me.”

World No 1 Donald, who on Sunday completed his double of money list titles on both sides of the Atlantic, finished ahead of Keegan Bradley, Bill Haas, Webb Simpson and Nick Watney in the player poll, which was controversially delayed after the Englishman had won the Disney Classic, the final event on the PGA Tour schedule.

Bradley, who took the USPGA Championship in his first major appearance, is the circuit’s Rookie of the Year award winner ahead of Masters champion Charl Schwartzel, Chris Kirk, Scott Stallings, Brendan Steele and Jhonattan Vegas.
