VIRGINIA WATER, England (AP) ? Luke Donald replaced Rory McIlroy at the top of the world rankings for the third time in 10 weeks by retaining the BMW PGA Championship title Sunday, boosting his hopes of finally ending his major drought this summer. Displaying his trademark consistency on the greens and from the tee, Donald cantered to a four-stroke victory at the biggest event on the European Tour by shooting a 4-under 68 ? his fourth straight round under 70 ? to finish on 15 under par at Wentworth. Donald held a two-shot lead over Justin Rose when he began his final round in still, sunny conditions and said he felt tense in the opening stretch of holes, culminating in a bogey 6 on the long fourth hole. Rose missed a short birdie putt at the last to finish with a 70 and tied for second with Paul Lawrie, the 1999 British Open champion who compiled a 66 for the joint lowest round of the day with George Coetzee. The win ensured Donald became the third player, after Nick Faldo and Colin Montgomerie, to retain the title at the flagship event and marked the first time he has won an event for two straight years.
