LEWIS WOULD LIKE DONALD OR TIGER AS PLAYING PARTNER

FROM THE BT YAHOO SPORTS SERVICE
European Tour Rookie of the Year Tom Lewis, pictured right, is hoping he can further his golfing education by partnering World No 1 Luke Donald or 14-times Major winner Tiger Woods at next month's Abu Dhabi Championship.
The Middle East tournament offers a prize fund of $2.7 million and has attracted a high-class field including US Open champion Rory McIlroy, US Masters winner Charl Schwartzel and Open champion Darren Clarke.
World No 2 Lee Westwood, fourth-ranked Martin Kaymer, No 8 Jason Day and 15th-ranked K J Choi will also be chasing the attractive Falcon Trophy.
"The field is amazing and I am crossing my fingers I get paired with one of the top names like Luke Donald or Tiger Woods at some point during the week," said Englishman Lewis from Welwyn Garden City.
Lewis, 20, won on his third professional start at the Portugal Masters in October, having burst on to the scene at the Open Championship in July when he became the first amateur since 1968 to lead golf's oldest Major.
Italian teenager Matteo Manassero, the 2010 Rookie of the Year, is looking at the January 26-29 event to kick start his bid to earn a Ryder Cup debut in Illinois in September.
"The Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship is one of the biggest tournaments we play in all year outside of the Majors and the World Golf Championships so I am hoping to make a good start to the year to help my quest for Ryder Cup qualification," he said.
