Donald and Manassero share lead

Donald struck with a double bogey at the sixth after him carving deep in the forest.

Luke Donald and Matteo Manassero will take a two shot lead at the end of the round of the Championship of the PGA at Wentworth on Sunday.

The couple carded very different rounds of 72 to put an end to an absorbing day linked to the five low.

World number one Lee Westwood (69) and Fabrizio Zanotti (69) are ready in second, with the dredging of Bradley, Simon Dyson and Raphael Jacquelin two low.

Donald fell five shots in his first six holes, but he fought back tenaciously.

With the number three global Martin Kaymer in four more and unlikely to finish in the first two, the 33-year-old Donald only need finish above Westwood to exceed it in the ranking.

But Donald, who said that "Invincible" in shooting seemed to him 64 on Thursday, was soon in trouble as his round threatened to unravel.

It began its downward spiral in the second short when you astillas through the Green and then saw the a back roll off on the other side on the way to a double bogey.

Fell another shot after a bunker in the third, he escaped with 'only' a few after finding trees again in the fourth time and accumulated a double bogey after him carving deep in the forest in the sixth.

But the English in United States held his nerve to four straight pairs before starting their way with birdies days 11 and 12.

Donald revival gathered pace with another birdie at 16 to return a part of the initiative and drains a long birdie on 17 to tie again with Manassero. Despite another unit in 18, Donald rescued par five trees to book a place in the last group with Italian young on Sunday.

"I need to figure out how I can keep it short and keep it away from the trees", said Donald. "I felt like Seve [Ballesteros], I was in trees with leaves everything on my back." I was dropping balls in the high grass and escape from everywhere and I do not think that it can be done two days in a row.

But he added: "I am very proud, it was a great support in the fight." It would have been easy for me to shoot out of the tournament. Certainly not I felt nervous, I only felt a little anxious because I don't have enough control that I would have liked. I kept persevering and try things and get that first birdie were important to the right of the nave. "It is not nice but I am with a great opportunity."

Manassero, already a two time winner after only turning pro last year, had three bogeys and two birdies on the way out and then came home with nine straight pairs.

"I played well." Was probably the most difficult day today, "said Manassero, who finished tied for 13 in the 2009 open as an amateur from 16 years of age."

"I enjoy courses as well when they play signature and when not to record so low that you can get shots make pars and save pairs." We must fight and I think I did well. It is a special event and is great to be in this position. "It is something to dream."

Westwood also preparing in contention after Donald to the end by eight shots after the first.

"I am overcoming my way there and this is the kind of golf course where you have to do it," he said. "It's a tough race." It has the feeling of a major championship where you have to hang up, trying to not make too many mistakes. I've been here outside very well now and I know how to get into the correct position. "

Asked if losing the number one place is a matter of concern, he said: "not at all." "I'm trying to win the PGA Championship".

Donald playing partner and leading co of second round than Quiros also had an adventurous day, accumulating a seven on the ninth of triple bogey and a triple-bogey eight on 17 a record to a 76 and slide back to nominal level.

The lowest round of the day belonged to Rory McIlroy, who birdied 16 and 17, but gambled to get to the 18th green in two and fell a shot at the last to finish with a 68 for one more.

Paul Casey and Ernie Els, who on Friday were involved in a dispute over redesigns of course of the South African, they were paired for the third round and both carded 72 at the end two more.

Donald relieved to survive he/she round

Casey, the 2009 PGA champion, had been added to the criticisms of Ian Poulter and described the new design - supervised by Els in 2010 and adjusted again to this year - as a "routine".

But asked after his round Saturday if the atmosphere with Els had been ice, English said that it is really the vision of Els.

And Els added: "I feel comfortable with the changes." I'm there 98%. May 15, the right front side is a bit too severe. But the boys must play now. This is no longer easy. It is a change of mentality. It is a better way, a test best. "The margin of error is obtained an important."

Both agreed that the structure of the course by tournament officials made too much criminal in windy conditions this week, but Westwood said later: "if it is a great tournament, which is as it is." You do not have birdie every hole and go to each indicator. Sometimes it is a good score. "I have no problem with flags hard".

Colin Montgomerie was level par 71 to remain two on, Ian Poulter was 73 for two envelope and Darren Clarke had a 8 and a seven on a 74 end also end with two on.

Germany Hansen, the defender of the USPGA champion, slipped later of for more than a 72 led to four more.
