England's Luke Donald became the first man to win the US and European money lists in one year after finishing third at the Dubai World Championship.

The world number one needed a top-nine finish to complete the feat and shot a bogey-free 66 for a 16 under total.

Rory McIlroy, who had to win the Dubai event for a chance of the money list, closed with a 71, 10 shots adrift.
