      VIRGINIA WATER (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. Fellow Briton Justin Rose claimed second spot on 207 after another 69, two ahead of Irishman Peter Lawrie (72). ... More »Donald shrugs off strong winds to lead PGA by two shots

Westwood said he had been fighting a hook throughout the event and had missed too many short putts. ... More »I'm not swinging well, says tired Westwood
