Bright Young Star Climbing The World Rankings With Mizuno As His Weapon Of Choice
Norcross, GA (March 14, 2006) – Luke Donald, one of the most accomplished young golfers in the world, utilized his Mizuno equipment to accomplish an impressive victory at the Honda Classic at The Country Club at Mirasol in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida this past weekend. Donald took the outright lead at 11 under par with back to back birdies halfway through his back nine, made a fantastic scrambling par on the difficult 16th hole to maintain the lead, and then utilized the pinpoint accuracy of his MP-32 5-iron to put his approach shot on the 18th within four feet of the hole, sealing the victory. Since returning to Mizuno in 2004, Donald has skyrocketed 124 spots up the World Golf Rankings, and now has cracked the Top 10 for the first time in his career. Donald currently utilizes the Mizuno MP-32 forged irons with Cut Muscle Design Technology, 54Ë? and 60Ë? MP Series forged wedges, and a Mizuno FLI-HI CLK hybrid to perform at his best.
