Golf: Donald back at the top

NEW ORLEANS: England’s Luke Donald took back the world number one golf ranking that he lost to Rory McIlroy two weeks ago with a third-place finish at the US PGA Zurich Classic. Donald has had a back and forth exchange of the top spot with the Northern Irish star and reigning US Open champion for the past two months. The Englishman needed a top-seven finish this week to secure the top ranking once more. With a birdie on the par five 18th to complete a final-round five-under par 67, Donald finished 72 holes on 17-under 271.
