Luke Donald feels his game is on an upward path as he again demonstrated his liking for Wentworth with an opening 68 at the BMW PGA Championship. Donald, who became only the second player after Colin Montgomerie to win back-to-back titles at the West Course in 2011 and 2012, carded three birdies on each nine while blotting his card at the ninth and 15th to lie three shots behind early leaders Scott Hend and YE Yang.The 38-year-old enjoyed an encouraging run of form after missing out on The Masters and was in contention in the latter stages of both the RBC Heritage and the Valero Texas Open, although he missed the halfway cut in his last outing at The Players Championship. Luke Donald carded six birdies in his opening 68 But a return to Wentworth has galvanised the Englishman this week, and he has a great record in the European Tours flagship event after getting off to a strong start.If you look at just history, if Im playing well the first round, it usually means good things for the rest of the tournament, said Donald, who will be tournament host for the British Masters supported by Sky Sports at The Grove in October. Donald is climbing back up the world rankings after showing some good form in April Its nice to get off to a really solid start. I hit a lot of good shots out there, and I was really happy with that round. Obviously past success helps, having a lot of good memories to feed off of. Since the changes here, the course has seemed to favour my game a little bit more, and Ive enjoyed some really strong finishes over the last few years. Certainly the last year or two have been tough, tough times, where I struggled to gain that confidence and feel comfortable. But it seems like the last couple months, Im getting more and more comfortable the better I play, and its nice to see some good results go with that. I feel like I am on the upward path. Meanwhile, Shane Lowry was delighted to bounce back from a poor couple of holes as two late birdies got him back to three under par.The Irishman followed a faultless, outward 32 with another birdie at the 12th, but he dropped a shot at the next and a wayward tee-shot at the short 14th kicked off a cart path and went out of bounds as he ran up a double-bogey five.But Lowry, who was tied for sixth last year after finishing runner-up to Rory McIlroy in 2014, got back on track with a birdie at the tough 15th before another at the last lifted his spirits. Shane Lowry was keen to take the positives from his opening-round 69 at the BMW PGA Championship It was good, I played nicely, said Lowry. I had a bit of a slip-up in the middle of the round but I really bounced back well. Birdieing 15 and 18 was big for me, especially that putt on the last. Had I shot 70, I would have been a little disappointed because of the way I played. But yeah, Im pretty happy.I do like it around here. Ive said that I love coming here, and its my favourite tournament of the year. We get looked after really well, and the golf course, I love it. It was nice crowds this morning, as well, and its just a really enjoyable week. Also See: Donald aiming for Ryder recall Beemer the caddie Watch online Golf live on Sky Sports 4 Jose Reyes Jersey .

It will replace Turner Field, the teams home since 1997 near downtown Atlanta.In addition to the hotel and office tower, Braves officials there will be a large facility hosting several restaurants and bars, as well as retail shops and housing in the complex around their $622 million stadium. There are also plans for an outdoor amphitheatre with grass seating, as well as an indoor concert and convention venue with a capacity of up to 4,000.The team did not release details of any possible tenants, saying talks are still ongoing.Derek Schiller, executive vice-president of sales and marketing, said the Braves expect to begin making announcements in the first three months of 2015.Were in the very early stages of discussions with a number of different retailers, Schiller said. Weve begun to show them this plan as well as supportive information in the past 30 to 45 days. Theres tremendous optimism from the marketplace and a greatt deal of interest.dddddddddddd.Schiller stressed that the images are subject to change, dependent on the needs of the companies that locate in the complex.Some details have yet to be worked out, most notably a new pedestrian bridge that will allow people to utilize parking on the opposite side of Interstate 285, one of two major freeways adjacent to the complex.There are questions about how the bridge will be funded, particularly amid concerns that the ballpark will add to the massive traffic jams in the area and that the gridlock would be even worse if the team cant access parking on the opposite side of the highway.Mike Plant, the Braves executive vice-president of business operations, said the team is still in discussions with Cobb County transportation officials.Weve designed a pedestrian bridge landing area within the mixed-used development, Plant said. Those conversations are ongoing and very active. Certainly, we are continuing to feel very confident there will be a pedestrian bridge bringing pedestrians over 285.___Online:http://atlanta.braves.mlb.com/atl/ballpark/suntrust-park/renderings/development-renderings/___Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 Authentic Nike Tampa Bay Buccaneers Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Tennessee Titans Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Washington Redskins Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Arizona Cardinals Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Denver Broncos Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Green Bay Packers Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Los Angeles Chargers Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike New England Patriots Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Oakland Raiders Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Seattle Seahawks Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Carolina Panthers Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Cleveland Browns Jerseys Cheap Cheap Throwback Baseball Arizona Diamondbacks Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Atlanta Braves Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Baltimore Orioles Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Boston Red Sox Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Chicago Cubs Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Chicago White Sox Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Cincinnati Reds Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Cleveland Indians Jerseys ' ' '
