KUALA LUMPUR:
World number three Luke Donald and past Major winners Padraig Harrington and Charl Schwartzel will look to fine-tune their games for the coming Masters during this week’s Maybank Malaysian Open. The trio head the field for the tournament starting today at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club, which has a prize purse of $2.75 million, along with rising young star Matteo Manassero of Italy, who won here in 2011. Great Britain’s Donald who was world number one until Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy took over last year, is gunning for his eighth European Tour win in Kuala Lumpur. He also has five US PGA Tour wins under his belt. “I am looking forward to (the Masters) and in recent weeks my game has come together well enough to give me confidence in doing well next month,” said Donald.
