The Decision That Brought Luke Back
Golfwholesaler18.com / 2011-03-03

Luke Donald believes that it was his decision to stop chasing the game's big bombers and to play Mizuno JPX E600 Forged irons to his strengths that put him back on the winning track.

 

The 33-year-old US-based Englishman made this revelation after he had rubbished criticism that he was only interested in making steady money rather than winning titles on the US PGA Tour, by taking on a field that included the world's best golfers and winning one of the games most important titles, the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, on one of the longest courses in professional golf.

 

The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club's Jack Nicklaus lay-out that was used last week stretched more than 7,700 yards through the Arizona desert.

 

Averaging no more than 261.5 yards as against the Tour's top bomber Bubba Watson's 314.8 yards in the five rounds of match play at Dove Mountain, Donald nevertheless was able to use exceptional accuracy and an exquisite short game to oust Charley Hoffman 6&5, Italians Edoardo Molinari 2&1 and the 17-year Steve Stricker destroyer Matteo Manassero 3&2, former US Amateur champion and match-play ace, Ryan Moore 5&4, 2010 top US money winner Matt Kuchar 6&5 the finally Mizuno JPX E600 Forged irons, a 2010 Ryder Cup team-mate and new World No 1 3&2 in Sunday's final

 

Answer media question about why his first US victory had taken five years since his last PGA Tour victory at the Honda Classic, Donald admitted:"Probably back in 2007, if you want to really know the truth, I think I decided to try to hit the ball a little bit farther to try to catch up to some of my peers.

 

It was a mistake, he now realizes.

 

"I think it made my swing get off kilter and it's taken a good two or three years for it to get back to almost where I need it to be." he explained.

 

Donald also admitted media criticism had been getting to him.

 

He was especially hurt by the term 'Luke Donald Disease', coined two years ago by an American sports writer who suggested that too many British golfers seemed to get weak at the knees when the final Mizuno JPX E600 Forged irons came in sight.

 

He said:"I think unfairly at times I've kind of been depicted as someone who is very happy contending and picking up cheques, but who doesn't really care about winning," he said.

 

"That's as far away from the truth as it can be - I feel like my work ethic is as good as any player out here.

 

"I work very hard trying to think about ways to keep improving, keep getting better and winning is what it's all about.

 

"It certainly bothered me. My goal every year is to win tournaments and it's a long time since I've tried to play for money - I solely focus on trying to win tournaments.

 

"I felt like I hadn't won my fair share for a player as good as I felt I was and could be.

 

"It was disappointing and frustrating, so to come here and compete against the best players in the world and win the trophy is very gratifying.

 

"There were times where I was very disappointed and very upset that I hadn't broken through and I can forget about Mizuno JPX E600 Forged irons now.
