LUKE DONALD FANCIES JUSTIN ROSE AS RYDER CUP PARTNER

FROM THE BT YAHOO GOLF NEWS SERVICE
Justin Rose may have been his title rival on Sunday, but double PGA Championship winner Luke Donald has a vision of the duo being paired together at the Ryder Cup in Illinois in September.
"I think we would make a good partnership in four-balls or foursomes," Donald told reporters at Wentworth, after landing the coveted PGA title for the second year in a row with a closing 68 for 273, 15 under par.
"Justin is a solid player and I don't have any doubts he'll be in the team. I think captain Jose Maria Olazabal is going to have the satisfaction of having a lot of people to pick from, and that's always a good thing."
Donald compared the attributes of Rose, the world number 10, to those of third-ranked Lee Westwood.
"Justin has the game to win a U.S. Open for sure," he said of his fellow Englishman. "He hits it very good off the tee and has a similar kind of game to Lee.
"He strikes it solid and doesn't make a lot of mistakes. I'm sure he's working on just getting a little bit better on the greens, but he's certainly making big strides in that area too.
"I see a lot of great things coming from Justin."
