VIRGINIA WATER, England, May 26 (Reuters) – Title holder
Luke Donald prompted cries of ‘Luke, Luke’ after cajoling a
15-foot birdie putt into the cup at the 18th to open a
two-stroke lead after the PGA Championship third round on
Saturday.
The world number two, who needs to finish eighth on his own
to take over from Rory McIlroy at the top of the rankings, was
at his scrambling best to return a three-under-par 69 for an
11-under 205 total as gusts up to 40-kph swirled around
Wentworth.
“That was by far my best round of the week,” Donald told
reporters. “The course is not geared towards a bombing
long-hitter, it’s geared towards someone who can work the ball
around.
“I went for a run at nine o’clock this morning and it was
blowing then so I knew it was going to be tough today.”
Fellow Briton Justin Rose claimed second spot on 207 after
another 69, two ahead of Irishman Peter Lawrie (72).
