World No.1 cards a disappointing opening four-over 75
Luke Donald is facing a fight to hold on to top spot in the world rankings after a disappointing opening round in the RBC Heritage in South Carolina.
Donald needs a top-eight finish at Harbour Town - where he lost a play-off to Brandt Snedeker last year - to remain ahead of Ryder Cup team-mate Rory McIlroy in the standings. But the Englishman struggled to a four-over-par 75 to lie eight shots off first-round leaders Chad Campbell, Vaughn Taylor and Colt Knost. Starting from the 10th, Donald dropped shots at the 12th and 15th to reach the turn in 37. He then recovered from a bogey on the first with a birdie on the par-five second, but ran up a double-bogey six on the sixth to continue the disappointing form shown in last week's US Masters.
