LOS ANGELES:
World number one Luke Donald got his US PGA Tour season off to a solid start with a first-round 70 in the Northern Trust Open. England’s Donald dealt capably with the gusting winds that made life difficult for the entire field. “This morning it was freezing... and it was not easy,” said Donald. “I’m excited about my ball-striking, the way I’m controlling the flight.” Meanwhile, Phil Mickelson chipped in for birdie at the final hole to seize a one-shot lead with a five-under 66.
