Donald hits 63 to warm up for British Open tilt in style

WORLD number one Luke Donald warmed up for the British Open with his third victory of the year yesterday — and what a win it was.

Donald shot the lowest round of his European Tour career, a sparkling nine-under-par 63, to take the Barclays Scottish Open by four shots at Castle Stuart near Inverness.

Playing in the land of his father and marking the fact by wearing tartan trousers, the 33-year-old English star dominated the rain-shortened event on the final day.
