Luke Donald
2006 PGA, Medinah Country Club (No. 3)
Started: Tied with Woods
Finished: Tied for third
after a 74
Woods' score: 68
Key stat: Woods
improved his record to
12-for-12 when holding or
sharing the third-round
lead of a major.
Where it all went
wrong: Donald failed to
convert medium-length
putts on the first and third
holes, and lipped out putts
on four and five.
Telling comment: "I felt
like I played better than
74," Donald says, "but the
putts didn't drop early on
and I wasn't able to get
any momentum. The
difference was on the
greens. He almost had the
ability to will the ball into
the hole, and I guess that
comes from experience."
