SEASON IN REVIEW: It's hard to follow a career year like Donald had in 2011, winning twice, posting four other top-3 finishes and earning PGA TOUR Player of the Year honors. That said, the 2012 campaign was yet another solid one for Donald, who held down the No. 1 spot in the world for the better part of the year until Rory McIlroy won the PGA Championship. He closed with a 66 to erase a three-shot deficit and win the Transitions Championship in a playoff, his fifth PGA TOUR victory. His tie for 10th at The Barclays was Donald's seventh top-10 of the season. -- Helen Ross

ALBERS’ QUICK TAKE: Fred Albers, on-course correspondent for SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio, provides a quick look at Donald:
I love watching him play and like talking to him following the round. He is very intelligent and "sneaky" long. Long par fours at East Lake are not a problem.
