Donald regain the number one ranking

 Luke Donald regained the number one world ranking by winning a tiebreaker of four men at the first extra hole in transitions in Florida Championship.
Two weeks after losing the first set to Rory McIlroy, Donald fired a 66 and then birdied 18 to win the tie-break.
Ernie Els led in the final stages, but bogeyed the last two holes.
Very first day leader Padraig Harrington, who began with a career best 61, finished 20th equal to the winner of the week Justin Rose was tied for 29.

In the first match in the 12 year history of the tournament, Jim Furyk, Bae Sang-Moon and Robert Garrigus lined up alongside English Donald and four men began playing the 18th in the course of Copperhead at Innisbrook.
Donald is gross to the right with his drive on the long par four, but his second shot with an iron cleared the front bunker by a narrow margin and rolled within six feet of the flag.
From much closer in the middle of the street, Garrigus also was close with his tone but its resulting left seven-foot putt drifted and Donald holed on the left edge of the victory.
"I was much more nervous first time," said Donald, who became the first number one in the world in May last year. "It wasn't my interest this week, I was only trying to win the tournament."
"It is another step in the right direction to get more confidence to try to win races."
"I now have two weeks but it is perfect preparation for Augusta [Masters]".
Donald began the outlines of last day three adrift but emerged back in contention with a typically composed of round bogey-free.
He launched into a walk in the ninth to begin a run of three successive birdies and lost an opportunity to 12 feet for birdie in 14 that would have given a part of the initiative.
In the next group Els, which has fallen to 68 in the world ranking and you need to return to the top 50 to qualify for his master 19th successive, lost an almost identical putt to the absolute leadership.
The former world number one will have to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational starting on Thursday or the Houston open from March 29 to reach teachers.
The 43-year-old who is nearing two years without a win in the United States, had also been three strokes behind the leaders overnight, but was soon ahead and then fired an excellent approach in the 16th century, only to lose under five-foot chance for a lead of two shots.
After a wait in the 17TH tee hit he/she shot with a mid iron to bogey in the par three for the third time this week, leaving six tied for the lead at 13 bass.
Then, after missing the green with his second in the last threw a putt of nervous from the inside pair of three feet wide of the Cup.
That left the door open for Furyk and Bae Korea in the South, both of which would have had the title with birdies on 18.
But both closed with pars and when they, along with Garrigus, joined Donald to play the final hole, won the English.
