Jamie Donaldson Is Hanging Out With The Big Boys

Late developer Jamie Donaldson enjoyed a share of second place at the WGC-Cadillac Championship last week and the 38 year old Welshman is feeling at home amongst golf’s elite.

Unbelievably it took Donaldson 255 events to claim his first win on the European Tour which was the Irish Open, and since that win he has had an impressive run finishing 19th and 5th in consecutive years in The Race To Dubai and also winning the HSBC Golf Championship.

His performance last week shouldn’t be underestimated, he claimed second place on a tough golf course amongst the top 60 golfers in the world. He may have started performing well later on in his career, but he is certainly making up for it now.

His latest run of form has propelled him to second spot in the European Points List, and top of the Race To Dubai Standings, which will pretty much guarantee him a spot on the Ryder Cup Team at Gleneagles in September.

Maybe he could feature in the Majors this year? Probably the US Open and The Open will be the most suited to him. Looking forward to finding out.

Adam Scott Will Take No 1 Spot From Tiger With Win At Doral

As we head towards the second WGC Championship of the year Tiger Woods’ No.1 spot is looking ever more precarious as Adam Scott has the chance to overtake him with a win at the new-look Blue Monster course in Miami.

However, Tiger Woods does have to finish outside of the top seven, and if we know Tiger like we do, he will be doing everything in his powers not only to not finish outside the top seven but to actually win the tournament.

Woods’ fitness is a little unknown after his last round in the Honda Classic was cut short due to back spasms after the 13th hole, rumours were flying around that he had left the course because he was playing badly, but Tiger is not known for doing this and has always played on even if he is having a bad day.

If Adam Scott does managed to claim the top spot, he will become only the second Australian golfer after Greg Norman to achieve this since the ranking system started in 1986.

Scott ,who had a wonderful year in 2013 has looked like the complete player for a long time mow, and since his Masters win you feel he will be a threat in every major for the foreseeable future.
