Under the greatest pressure, Luke Donald delivered his finest performance.
Donald felt his only chance to capture the PGA Tour money title -- and state a clear case as player of the year -- was to win at Disney in the final tournament of the year.
"It was do or die," Donald said.
That's what made his victory Sunday in the Children's Miracle Network Classic his most gratifying win of the year. Five shots behind going into the final round, and still four shots out of the lead with nine holes to play, Donald left little doubt who was No. 1 -- in the world ranking, and now on the PGA Tour.
Donald ran off six straight birdies to blow past Webb Simpson on the leaderboard and on the money list, closing with an 8-under 64 for a two-shot victory over Justin Leonard that makes him a clear favorite for PGA Tour player of the year.
