Luke Donald is set to return to the event that kickstarted what turned out to be a truly memorable 2011 - the WGC-Accenture Match Play.

Donald's victory at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club at Dove Mountain last year provided the spark for what turned out to be a fantastic year of achievements, one that saw him take over at the top of the world rankings and win the money list titles on both sides of the Atlantic.

Donald's consistency throughout the year was remarkable - he played a combined total of 24 events on The European and PGA Tours and placed in the top ten 18 times, winning four of them and finishing runner-up on a further three occasions.

"This is really where it all started for me for last year," Donald said on Tuesday during a media gathering. "My last win in America before coming here and winning was in 2006 at the Honda Classic. So it had been a while since I'd won on the PGA Tour. To come here and play against the best players in the world and to win in the fashion I did, gave me a huge amount of confidence."

Reflecting on his year, Donald added: "It's certainly my best year by far, all starting here as winning this tournament really gave me a huge amount of confidence - not just in winning, but the way I wanted. I never went to the 18th. Usually in match play you have to dig out a few matches. It just seemed that year, that week, everything went smoothly. I was able to control every match, never get behind. I think because of that, it led up to a lot of the successes I had after the win.

"There was the match at Wentworth, going head-to-head with the Number One spot at stake and playing well enough to hold on to it, and still being ranked Number right now. Picking up another win in the Scottish, and my most satisfying win was probably Disney. Going there, and knowing that I had to win to have any chance of winning that money title, and pulling out the goods when I needed to.

"Those are the moments that define a career and make me more proud because I was able to kind of find the shots when I needed to. And winning both money titles and doing something that nobody had ever done officially. Those are the kind of things that you'll always aspire to do - to create history and change the history books.

"Certainly it will be tough to match that, but I'll give it my best shot this year."
