Back from injury, short-game-savvy Donald off to hot start at Valspar

PALM HARBOR, Fla. – There’s a familiar face strolling the fairways this week at the Valspar Championship.

Somewhere amid the shuffle of 300-yard bombers and bright-eyed youngsters is a man whose resumé most of the field would take in a heartbeat. Luke Donald has spent much of the past 20 years winning on both sides of the Atlantic, including at Innisbrook when he captured the title in a four-man playoff in 2012.

That was back when the Englishman was at the height of his powers, coming off a PGA Tour money title and still ranked No. 1 in the world.
