Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald showed some of his prospective team members how it should be done with a superb 64 in the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship.<\/p>\n
The former world number one, who is currently ranked 541st, birdied his last four holes and made nine in total at Yas Links to card an opening eight-under-par 64 and set the clubhouse target.<\/p>\n
Play in the first round was not completed due to fading light, but Donald ended the day with a one-shot lead over Italy\u2019s Guido Migliozzi and Australia\u2019s Jason Scrivener, with Ireland\u2019s Seamus Power a shot further back.<\/p>\n
