Donald in contention in the US

Three successive birdies around the turn left England’s Luke Donald only one shot off the lead at the final round of the Barclays Classic in windy New York.

Donald, joint seventh at the start of the day, had played the first eight holes in one over, but his hopes of a second US Tour win of the season were lit up again when he followed a 15-foot putt on the long ninth with efforts from seven and 30 feet at the start of the inward half.
