McDowell going well in Wales

Jamie Donaldson was inspired playing alongside defending champion and Ryder Cup hero Graeme McDowell on the European Tour’s return to Celtic Manor today.

Trying to be the first home winner of the Wales Open in its 12-year history, Welshman Donaldson birdied his first three holes and added another on the driveable 15th – his fifth – to be four under par and leading by one.
