Luke Donald, Justin Rose critical of Wentworth greens

European heavyweights Luke Donald and Justin Rose are both critical of the Wentworth greens after the second round of the BMW PGA Championship.

Luke Donald and Justin Rose both found fault in the Wentworth greens after making the cut at the BMW PGA Championship.

Two-time winner Donald is six shots adrift of leader Francesco Molinari at four-under-par, and Rose finished strongly to make it to the weekend on one-under.

However, both were critical of the greens and former world number one Donald has suggested that they need replacing for the second time in just six years.

"I guess the only way to fix them is to redo them again," he told reporters. "If there's one tournament you should expect them to be perfect, it's this one. It's not a question we haven't talked about over the years. It has happened a few times.

"When they redid the greens [in 2009] and I look at the success I had, I would certainly be a proponent of doing them again."

Former Ryder Cup teammate Rose added: "I just watched myself on TV knocking in a four-footer on 18 and it looked easy, but that was different from the running commentary in my head.

"They are bouncy and then it becomes a mental thing; you don't quite trust your reads. It's disappointing in the sense that the whole reason we changed this course was that if a player has a six-foot putt to win and hits a good putt, it should go in.

"We are back in the situation where that six-footer might not be true come Sunday afternoon."

Earlier this week, US Open champion Martin Kaymer pleaded with the European Tour to reschedule the event for later in the year to help the condition of the greens.
