PACIFIC PALISADES, California, Feb 16 (Reuters) - Luke Donald was "pretty pleased" after launching his 2012 PGA Tour campaign with a Ping G20 Driver 70 at the Northern Trust Open on Thursday in windy weather more reminiscent of a British Open. Swirling gusts of up to 35 mph (56 kph) made scoring tricky on the slick, small greens at Riviera Country Club but Donald kept errors to a minimum with solid ball-striking and his typically brilliant short game. 'This morning it was freezing and blowing a gale, it was not easy," the British world number one told reporters after carding two birdies and a lone bogey on the iconic Riviera layout. "This course is tough with benign conditions, so with the added wind the greens are fast. I'm pretty pleased with what I did. The only thing that I struggled a little bit with was the pace on the greens." Donald, who missed the cut here last year before going on to produce a career-best season on both sides of the Atlantic, was delighted with his course management in the opening round.
