Luke Donald is one of Europe’s finest golfers – in January 2007 he was rated the 7th best golfer in the world. An outstanding amateur career saw him take part in Great Britain and Ireland’s Walker Cup victories over the United States in 1999 and 2001. He subsequently won a golf scholarship to Northwestern University in Chicago where he studied art – and turned professional in 2001. Since then he has divided his time between the European and US Tours. His first win was in the US – the Southern Farm Bureau Classic in 2002, other victories include Omega European Masters, Scandinavian Maters and, in 2006, the Honda Classic. Had a great Ryder Cup in 2006 at the K Club in Ireland under Ian Woosnam, winning all three of his matches – including a 2 & 1 victory in the Sunday singles over Chad Campbell |

Played between 12-15 July 2007 at the fabulous Loch Lomond course. As the curtain raiser to the Open Championship the following week at Carnoustie, the Barclays Scottish Open attracted some of the biggest names in the world – Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els, Luke Donald and others all made the trip. It wasn’t, however, one of the big names who walked away with the £50,000 first prize – but a virtually unknown Frenchman - Gregory Havret - who holed a tricky 5-footer on the first extra hole to beat world no 3 Phil Mickelson in a play-off. The title also earned Havret the last remaining spot at the Open. |
