Donald played a majestic pitch to leave himself no more than six feet (1.8 m) for birdie. Westwood attempted to follow him in but overspun his approach and it retracted into the water hazard. He eventually chipped out from the drop zone and made double bogey; Donald made his birdie putt to win the title and overtook his countryman as the new World Number One.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/golf/13590209 Luke Donald wins the BMW PGA Championship and becomes new world number one 29 May 2011 BBC Sport 26 May 2012 PlacePlayerScoreTo parMoney (€)1 ENG Luke Donald 4 −1 750,0002 ENG Lee Westwood 7 +2 500,000 References Category:BMW PGA Championship Category:Golf tournaments in England BMW PGA Championship BMW PGA Championship BMW PGA Championship
