JIMENEZ WINS 7TH PGA TOUR CHAMPIONS TITLE

-

Miguel Angel Jimenez won the Chubb Classic on Sunday for his seventh PGA Tour Champions title, beating Bernhard Langer and Olin Browne with a 5-foot par putt on the first hole of a playoff. Jimenez closed with a 5-under 66 at The Classics at Lely Resort to match Langer and Browne at 13-under 200. “I’m working hard and I practice and go to the gym, apart from smoking and drinking,” Jimenez said. “This is what I love to do. I love to play golf. To me, competing is my life. I go to any competitio­n, I want to win. I am working for that.” Jimenez has won in each of his six seasons on the 50-and-over tour. The 55-year-old Spaniard won the major Regions Tradition and Senior British Open last season. “It’s the beginning of the season,” Jimenez said. “We are on the third tournament of the season and all the season in front of us. This gives you the energy and the confidence coming up.” Langer shot 68, and Browne had a double bogey on the par-4 18th in regulation for a 66. /
