Luke Donald will play at least one more round in this year’s Masters with a new driver after discovering a crack in the one he was using while walking up No. 14 during Thursday’s first round.

“I’m going to have to get some drivers here as quickly as possible and obviously not having teed up one, having a fresh one, it’s not where you really want to be, ideally, but I’ll manage,” he said.

Donald uses a TaylorMade driver. He said he thinks the company will fly one to him in time for his 1:41 p.m. Friday tee time.

He said he doesn’t know when the driver was damaged, but he was still able to hit nine of 14 fairways and post six birdies – three on each nine — to finish 1 under.
