The 23-year-old McIlroy returned to world number one with hisplayoff loss to Rickie Fowler last week at the Wells FargoChampionship. In the last 10 weeks, either Donald or McIlroy have been at the topsix times. "I think the last couple of months have not been as excitingbecause Rory and I really haven't been playing in the same events,"Donald said. "I think that will change a little bit, and hopefully there will besome situations coming up in the next few months where we'll beplaying in the same tournament and both having a chance to win thetournament." McIlroy and Donald have competed in the same tournament just fourtimes this year, including the Masters. It was at the Masters where US Open champion McIlroy finishedoutside the top five for the only time this season. He easily made the cut but then shot rounds of 77-76 on the weekendto finish in a tie for 40th. McIlroy reached number one for the first time by capturing theHonda Classic in March. Donald's game has come together after he got off to a slow start tothe season. He placed out of the top 30 in five of eighttournaments but won the Transitions Championship. Four players have held the No. 1 spot in the 18 months since TigerWoods fell off the lofty perch. But Woods is looking for good vibes at the Stadium Course this weekto turn his fortunes around. The 36-year-old American is coming off his eighth missed cut of hiscareer at the Wells Fargo event. He has put together twodisappointing back-to-back performances since winning the ArnoldPalmer Invitational in March. "I've done really well or I haven't," Woods said. "Either I've beenright there in contention with a chance or I haven't." Woods won in 2001 and placed second in 2000 but he also struggledmightily at this event. "Guys, I've done this before," Woods said to reporters. "I've beenthrough this. Actually, a lot of you guys lived it with me, wentthrough those periods where I wasn't quite where I wanted to be. "I had some pretty good runs after that, and this is no different.It takes a little bit of a time, and I keep building and thingseventually come around to where they feel natural and efficient." Masters champion Bubba Watson is taking the week off to recuperatefrom his major championship win and Dustin Johnson is also skippingthe event while he recovers from back surgery. Former winner Phil Mickelson will be playing just days after beinginducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame.
