POWELL, Ohio – Luke Donald once proved he has the game to be No. 1 in the world, and on Tuesday he took another step in his road back up the world rankings by qualifying for the U.S. Open in a six-for-five playoff at Wedgewood Golf and Country Club.
Currently No. 80 in the world, Donald has struggled to regain his consistent form since exchanging the No. 1 ranking with Rory McIlroy for much of the 2012 season.
“Glad it’s all over,” Donald said of qualifying. “Looking forward to getting to Oakmont.”
The 38-year-old, five-time PGA Tour winner will be making his 13th start at the U.
