Sandman Donald unfased by bunkers
Luke Donald has proved himself the undisputed king of the bunkers this year.
After getting up and down from sand more often than anybody else in America for the second year in a row Donald has just pipped Ian Poulter for the same award on the European Tour.
His average there was 73.9% compared to Poulter’s 73.7%, while in the States he was a clear winner on 66.4%.
Donald also came out on top in Europe in scrambling (saving par from off the green) and putting, while Poulter hit more greens in regulation than anybody.
The circuit’s longest driver was Belgian Nicolas Colsaerts with an average of nearly 308 yards, while Australian Peter O’Malley found the most fairways for the third time in four years.
Every player will say the most important category, however, is stroke average and it was no surprise to find leading money-winner Martin Kaymer out in front there too with 70.04 shots per round.
