Luke Donald replaces Rory McIlroy as world number one after a third-placed finish at the Zurich Classic in New Orleans.

Luke Donald has regained his spot at the top of the world rankings following his performance at the Zurich Classic in New Orleans on Sunday.

The Englishman, who needed a top-seven finish to replace Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy as the world number one, took third at the tournament on 17-under-par.

"Couldn't quite catch up after a slow start, but very happy with my last 3 rounds," Donald tweeted. "Back to #1 is a nice consolation."

American Jason Dufner eventually won the event following a playoff victory over South Africa's Ernie Els.
