Donald: Psychologist stopped me quitting golf

Luke Donald has never been one to shy away from his problems, but for the first time the English golfer has admitted he almost quit golf -- before telling himself to "grow up and not be a baby" after a meeting with the leading psychologist who helped record-breaking sky diver Felix Baumgartner overcome his fears.

Donald spent more than a year as world No.1 from May 2011 to August 2012, a period in which he won and defended the BMW PGA Championship as well as becoming the first player ever to top the money list on both the European and PGA Tours.
