DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Luke Donald became the first golfer to win both the PGA Tour and European Tour money titles, finishing third in the Dubai World Championship on Sunday behind winner Alvaro Quiros.
Quiros made a 40-foot eagle putt on the 18th hole for a two-shot victory over 1999 British Open champion Paul Lawrie.
Donald, who won the PGA title earlier this year, had to finish better than ninth or hope Rory McIlroy didn’t win the tournament. McIlroy, weakened with a virus all week, tied for 11th at 9-under-par 279. That left McIlroy more than $1.34 million behind Donald in the money race.
Quiros had a final-round 5-under 67 to finish at 269. Donald was three shots behind Quiros after he ran off three birdies in a row for a 6-under 66.
• PGA champion Keegan Bradley and Brendan Steele shot a 13-under 59 in scramble play to become the first PGA Tour rookies to win the Franklin Templeton Shootout in Naples, Fla.
