Donald leads at Wentworth, closes in on No. 1 spot updated 12:01 p.m. VIRGINIA WATER, England (AP) -Luke Donald moved to the brink of a successful defense of the BMW PGA Championship and a return to the top of the world rankings by shooting a 3-under 69 to take a two-stroke lead after the third round at Wentworth on Saturday. On a day of high scoring that led course designer Ernie Els to fiercely criticize European Tour officials for the state of the greens, Donald overcame tough, windy conditions to be one of only three players to break 70. Fellow Englishman Justin Rose is alone in second after a 69 while Peter Lawrie of Ireland (72) is two shots further back on 7 under. Donald needs to finish in the top eight to take over as No. 1 from Rory McIlroy, who missed the cut after a 79 on Friday.
