Luke Donald Confident He Can Be World #1

Luke Donald is still confident that he will take the world number one spot.

The Englishman needed to win The Heritage in South Carolina to move to the top of the rankings after Lee Westwood triumphed at the Indonesian Masters.

All the pressure was on Donald as he set off on his final round - knowing that a win would take him to the top of the rankings for the first time in his career.

However Donald couldn't hold off Brandt Snedeker in the play off as both men finished on twelve under par.

And when Donald's chip on the eighteenth rolled off the green it was Snedeker who was handed victory.

Westwood's win sees him move back to the top of the rankings, Martin Kaymer moves down to second while Donald is third.

Despite the disappointment Donald knows that he has plenty of time tot op the rankings.

Speaking to Sky Sports he said: "It was going to be some big rewards if I won today.

"But I'll try and find the positives from this week and move on to next week. I came pretty close ... but I've still got some time on my side.

"Certainly number one is not the final goal. It's a constant travel. You're constantly moving forward in this game. To be number one 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 (about) 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."
