Luke Donald: Out to top both money lists

Luke Donald has targeted topping both the European and United States money lists after missing out on his first major victory in the USPGA Championship.

Donald would be the first golfer to top both lists in the same season, and admitted: "It's certainly a goal," after finishing joint eighth in Atlanta on Sunday night.

"That would be a great accomplishment. To be the first would be very special."

Donald had hopes of getting right in the mix during Sunday's final round but found the water at the short 15th just like eventual winner Keegan Bradley and play-off loser Jason Dufner.

Poor shot

"I thought I had to press a little bit hard and obviously I hit a poor shot," he said.

"I just didn't strike it well enough.

"It's a missed opportunity again. The positives I see are that I didn't have my best week this week and I still came reasonably close.

"I know I've got the game to compete and win majors, but, again, it's bittersweet - it's another major gone, another year gone without winning a major.

"I'm moving in the right way, though. I just need that week where everything falls in place."
