https://www.jamie-donaldson.comRyder Cup player (2014). Multiple wins on the European Tour.
Donaldson turned professional in 2000 aged 24. The following season was spent playing on the second tier Challenge Tour, from which he stepped up to the full European Tour in 2002. After some relatively modest years on the Tour, he started to become a much stronger and more consistent player in 2010.
Donaldson's maiden win on the Tour came at the 2012 Irish Open, his 255th start on the Tour. Further wins in 2013 and 2014 set up his appearance in the 2014 Ryder Cup, where he secured the winning point for Europe, beating Keegan Bradley 4 & 3 in the Sunday singles. In 2013 Donaldson became only the fifth player in Masters history to record a hole-in-one at Augusta National's par-3 6th hole.
