Donald ended Rory McIlroy’s two-week stay atop the world ranking by rallying from three strokes down with a 66.

He first reached No. 1 in the world by winning a playoff over Lee Westwood at Wentworth last May.

This required more work as Donald had to beat Jim Furyk, Robert Garrigus and Bae Sang-Moon in sudden death.
