€10m man Luke proves bigger not always better

THE final event of the European Tour season was won by the man who has been the circuit’s biggest hitter for a stunning four of the last five years.

But it is England’s Luke Donald, with a driving average of 282 yards that leaves him ranked only 145th, and 30 yards behind Spaniard Alvaro Quiros, whose year has been the stuff of dreams.

World number one, leading money-winner in the United States and now Europe’s Order of Merit champion as well, Donald has shown that brute force is not a pre-requisite for success in golf.
