Galaxy star Landon Donovan was presented with the 2007 Honda Player of the Year award in Los Angeles on Friday, marking the fourth time he has been selected as America's top player.

The 25-year old received 413 balloting points, easily outdistancing Everton keeper Tim Howard (122) and Fulham backline marshal Carlos Bocanegra (105).

"It certainly is a great honor," Donovan told reporters. "We can’t forget that soccer is a team sport, and I am very proud of the team’s performance this year, particularly in defending the Gold Cup title."

Thus far in 2007, Donovan has notched nine goals and four assists for a US Soccer record 22 points.
