Lytham St. Golden Tate Youth Jersey . Annes, England (Sports Network) - Luke Donald, the worlds best golfer statistically, shot an impressive 2-under 68 on Friday at The Open Championship. He moved to 2-under for the championship and is in the mix, although hes 8 behind leader Brandt Snedeker. What made Donalds solid round even more impressive Friday is that he did it with a different caddie. His regular looper, John McLaren, got a phone call from his wife early in the morning. She went into labor with the couples first child and McLaren bounded off to London to be there. "Hopefully all is going well. About 6.30 a.m. (local time) he came in and I saw he was up a little early so thought it might be time," said Donald. "She was due on Wednesday so she was trying to hold on as long as possible." Donald didnt panic. He didnt have to go far to find McLarens replacement. Gareth Lord remained in Lytham St. Annes after his man, Robert Karlsson, withdrew before the tournament started. "Ive actually been sharing a house with John and Gareth, and when Robert pulled out he was available so it worked out well," said Donald. There is great history between Donald and Lord. Last year, Donald entered the Childrens Miracle Network Classic on the PGA Tour. It was the final event of the year and Donald played to try and win the money title on the PGA Tour. Lord was his caddie for the week. Donald won and became the first player to win the money race on both the PGA and European Tours in the same season. Donald isnt sure when, or if, McLaren will return to work this week. "We dont know how long these babies take but I told John to not rush," said Donald, a father of two himself. "For me that was an important thing in my life to be around for that, especially your first one, and enjoy that experience. "But I know what hes like. Hes very passionate about his job, as well, and hell get back here when hes ready." Donald has been the No. 1 player in the world, off and on, for almost a full year. He has not contended for a major championship in that time span -- nor quite frankly, did he compete for one much before that. "Obviously where I am in my career I need to be contending and this was a good solid two rounds and Im looking forward to the weekend," he said. "Im certainly feeling more and more comfortable." On top of the great round, at least Donald saved some money on McLaren Friday. "I wont pay him for today, obviously, but, you know, he should be around for the birth." A funny joke, but a serious job was well done, albeit differently. K.J. Wright Limited Jersey .
