Luke Donald, the world number two golfer, has his sight to secure a place alongside golfer Colin Montgomerie when he will compete in the BMW PGA Championship in May and more importantly, he would like to win it for a 3rd consecutive year.
Apart from Sir Nick Faldo and Colin Montgomerie, the thirty five year old English golfer is the only player to have successfully defended his title in the history of golfers’ flagship tournament when he snatched the title in a brilliant way in this year.
Now Luke is targeting to hit a magnificent treble from 23rd May to 26th May at the Wentworth Club. This feat was earlier achieved by 8 – time European No. 1 Colin Montgomerie, who won this event three times – in 1998, 1999 and 2000.
In 2011, Luke edged out his fellow countryman golfer Lee Westwood in a play – off. Last year, he successfully defended his title; snatching a 4 – stroke win that again returned him to peak of the list of world golf ranking.
In 2011, Luke Donald topped the money list in the US PGA Tour. He told that the European Tour’s flagship tournament BMW PGA Championship and to win it back to back is really special for him. It would be a huge achievement for him to go there and attempt to do what Colin Montgomerie did. This is a huge tournament on the European Tour schedule; and West Course suits his game quite well.
