Donald Misses out on World Number 1

Luke Donald Loses Heritage Play-off

"Yeah, obviously first of all hats off to Brandt. He played a fantastic round today and I just came up a little short. Unfortunately both on the 72nd hole and that second playoff hole on 18, I got a little bit stuck in between clubs, and didn't hit great shots. And just came up short, unfortunately."

"You know, I kind of looked at the leaderboard with nine holes to play and saw that Brandt had posted a number. It was tough out there. It wasn't easy. The course was -- a lot of pins were tough to get to. I thought the greens were a little bit quicker today. I kept running it a little bit past the hole. And obviously hit a great shot into 16, had a good chance there. I thought if I made that putt I could win the tournament."

"Certainly No. 1 is not the final goal. It's a constant travel. You're constantly moving forward in this game. To be No. 1 would be great, but it's not everything. It certainly would be a tick in the box and it would be something great to talk to the grandkids in 30 years' time and say that you were the best in the world, but I still have a lot of chances to do that."
