Donald moves to No.3 after matchplay win

England's Luke Donald defeated new world number one Martin Kaymer 3&2 to win the WGC Match Play in Arizona.

Donald's victory landed him £864,838 and means he jumps six places to number three in the world rankings.

Donald, 33, birdied the second and was three up after five, before Kaymer got back to level at the halfway stage.

However, Donald, who did not trail in any of his matches all week, birdied the 11th, 12th and 15th and closed out the match at the par-three 16th.

It is the Englishman's sixth professional title and his first in an elite World Golf Championships event.
