AMERICAN GOLF WRITERS VOTE FOR LUKE DONALD, YANI TSENG
The Golf Writers Association of America have followed the lead of their "brothers" on this side of the Atlantic by naming Luke Donald as its male player of the year.
Englishman Donald, who won four times around the world and became the first player to win the money titles on the US PGA Tour and the European Tour in the same season, won 88 percent of the American vote to easily beat Keegan Bradley, Webb Simpson and Rory McIlroy.
The Association of Golf Writers in Britain does not vote for a female player of the year but the Americans do and Taiwan's Yani Tseng received 94 percent of the vote as the female player of the year after winning 12 times worldwide, including two majors.
Tom Lehman was voted senior player of the year.
They will be honoured at the GWAA annual awards dinner April 4 - the eve of the Masters tournament - in Augusta, Georgia.
