Now at number 11 on the Official World Golf Ranking, Donald is the highest ranked Englishman in the game and he has made giant strides over the past few years.

Based in Illinois, he has become a consistent contender for the top prizes on the US PGA Tour and he is suited by the fact that Augusta is not a test of raw power.

His two titles in America include last year?s Honda Classic and he will be looking for at least a repeat performance of his 2005 Masters debut, when he finished in a tie for third place behind Tiger Woods. If he can retain his metronomic form for four days, could a first Major be on the cards?
