If his magnificent moment of play is more than demonstrated in the Champions Tour of the United States, the circuit for the over 50s, where he recently won his first major, the performances of Miguel Angel Jimenez in the European Tour also show the great class of the golfer from Malaga. At the Italian Open held this weekend, the player from Churriana showed the younger players that he still has plenty of room for improvement.
And he did it especially on Sunday, when he sealed a spectacular round of 63 strokes, eight under par, and finished the tournament in fourteenth place, with an overall score of fifteen under par, rewarded with a prize of 84,000 euros.
The victory in this first Rolex Series tournament of the year went to the Dane Thorbjorn Olesen, who beat Italian Francesco Molinario by one stroke and Englishman Lee Slattery by two. Rafa Cabrera-Bello from the Canary Islands was fourth, four strokes behind the winner.
