World Golf Rankings 2012: Luke Donald Regains No. 1 Spot

Following his win at the 2012 BMW PGA Championship, Luke Donald regained the No. 1 spot atop the 2012 World Golf Rankings, ahead of Rory McIlroy. Donald dominated at Wentworth Club, shooting 11-under for a four-stroke victory over his next closest competitor.
