HILTON HEAD:
England’s Luke Donald missed a chance to claim golf’s world number one ranking, losing a tension-packed Heritage playoff to American Brandt Snedeker on the third extra hole. Donald birdied the 18th and parred the 17th in the playoff only to see Snedeker match him each time. Snedeker parred at 18 on the third playoff hole but Donald’s par bid from the edge of the green lipped out to end the drama. “I thought it was going to be my day but it wasn’t,” said Donald.
