Luke Donald has turned to basketball great Michael Jordan to improve his mental approach.

The Briton became the first player to win the money lists on both sides of the Atlantic in 2011, but last year was disappointing by comparison and, before starting his season at the North-ern Trust Open in California, Donald said: "Jordan's good for the mind. He's making sure I'm ready mentally."
