British Open Golf Contenders 2011 - Luke Donald

Luke Donald has proven himself to be the most consistent player on the tour over the last six months and because of that he currently sits proudly on top of the World Rankings heading into the 2011 Open Championship. The man from Hertfordshire has been a pro for some time now but finds himself in the form of his life in 2011 and he will be targeting Sandwich as the venue to pick up his first Major Championship.

Latest Luke Donald British Open Golf 2011 Odds

This season Donald has rarely had a bad a week with the highlight coming in the WGC World Match Play in Arizona back in February, he picked up his first WGC win that week and proved once again he was the best in the world at Match Play. That win has boosted the confidence of Donald and he backed it up recently with a win in the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth which took him to the top of the world rankings.

Donald is a man that is all about the fairways and greens and that should stand him in good stead at a British Open, he is not the longest off the tea but is brilliant with an iron in his hand and is perhaps the best player in the world at getting up and down from tough situations. He did not have a great time at the US Open recently where more length was needed off the tee, he soon bounced back though with a brilliant win in the Scottish Open on the links course. It is always tough for a player to win the Scottish and British Open in successive weeks but Donald is clearly bang in form aat the moment and has to have a massive chance at Sandwich.

Donald is yet to win a Major Championship which he will be eager to put right and the next opportunity comes at Royal St Georges, he certainly has the game to win but he will need to put it all together to come out on top. Surprisingly his record at the Open is not particularly great with only one top ten finish to his name which was back in 2009, he is undoubtedly a better player now though and this could be the year for Luke Donald.
