TORONTO -- Hundred-year-old marathoner Fauja Singh wont have a spot in the Guinness World Book of Records after all. Bobby Ryan Jersey . Singh attracted worldwide attention when he completed the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon on Oct. 16. But Guinness World Records told the BBC it wont recognize claims that Singh is the worlds oldest marathon runner, because he cant show a birth certificate from 1911. Singh has a British passport showing his date of birth as being April 1, 1911, as well as a letter from the Queen congratulating him on his 100th birthday. A letter from Indian government officials state that no birth records were kept in 1911. It took Singh over eight hours to cross the finish line, where he was met by a throng of media, supporters, family and friends. Three days earlier, Singh claimed another eight records for 100-year-old men in eight track and field distances from 100 metres to 5,000 metres. It appears those records will be recognized by World Masters Athletics. Ryan Getzlaf Premier Jersey .

Denis has signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Montreal Canadiens. VIRGINIA WATER, England -- Luke Donald replaced Rory McIlroy at the top of the world rankings for the third time in 10 weeks by retaining the BMW PGA Championship title on Sunday, boosting his hopes of finally ending his major drought this summer. Displaying his trademark consistency on the greens and from the tee, Donald cantered to a four-stroke victory at the biggest event on the European Tour by shooting a 4-under 68 -- his fourth straight round under 70 -- to finish on 15 under par at Wentworth. Donalds second victory of the year, after the Transitions Championship in the United States in March, saw him leapfrog McIlroy at the same location where 12 months ago he first guaranteed he would rise to the top of the pile after a playoff win over Lee Westwood. "Theres something sweet about going 12 months and still being No. 1," Donald said. "Its an indication that Im doing the right things." Donald held a two-shot lead over Justin Rose when he began his final round in still, sunny conditions and said he felt tense in the opening stretch of holes, culminating in a bogey 6 on the long 4th. A birdie for Rose at the same hole drew the players level on 10 under and with Peter Lawrie and Paul Lawrie within two shots at that stage, a tight finish seemed likely. Donald ensured that didnt materialize, however, rediscovering his form with the putter to birdie four of the next seven holes -- including a 30-foot putt on No. 10 that drew cries of "Luuuuke" from the gallery and left Rose three shots behind and with too much to do. Finding the fairway with disturbing regularity for his rivals, Donald earned himself the luxury of strolling down No. 18 armed with a four-shot cushion. He suddenly had the aura of the best player in the world. Rose missed a short birdie putt at the last to finish with a 70 and tied for second with Paul Lawrie, the 1999 British Open champion who compiled a 66 for the joint lowest round of the day with George Coetzee. "There were no loose shots coming down the stretch. And with his short game andd him making 20- and 30-footers, hes tough to beat," Rose said of his Ryder Cup colleague. Saku Koivu Authentic Jersey. Not only did a sixth victory in 15 months earn Donald a check of C750,000 ($950,000), it also gave him a major lift ahead of next months U.S. Open in San Francisco, when he will go in search of a first major title to complete his golfing resume. "I feel I am getting closer. Every time I get a success like this, it adds to my confidence. These victories are key to bringing that confidence to the majors," said the 34-year-old Englishman, who topped the money lists both sides of the Atlantic in 2011. "Its putting four rounds together like I did this week." Its the sixth change at the top of the rankings between Donald and McIlroy in 12 weeks. McIlroy missed the cut at Wentworth after a second-round 79. The win ensured Donald became the third player, after Nick Faldo and Colin Montgomerie, to retain the title at the flagship event and marked the first time he has won an event for two straight years. "I feel that when Im playing well, Im hard to beat. But I think there could be 20, 25 guys who would say that," a typically modest Donald said. "After the 4th, I didnt give him (Rose) a hole where he was teeing off first other than the 18th. I got the job done." Scores were significantly lower than Saturday, when gusting winds of up to 30 mph (48 kph) played a vital role in splitting the field during the third round. Peter Lawrie punched the air in birdying the last to finish alone in fourth place after a 71, with South Africas Branden Grace (70) -- a three-time winner on the European Tour this year -- a shot further back in fifth. Wentworth course designer Ernie Els, who apologized for his expletive-laced outburst about the state of the greens on Saturday, tied for seventh with Marcel Siem and Francesco Molinari after a 72 while playing in the penultimate group. Siem was afforded arguably the biggest cheer of the day when he made a hole in one at the short 2nd, an 8-iron from 160 yards (meters). ' ' '
