Spanish inquisition to take play-off victory
Staysure Tour card via the Final Stage of Qualifying School, Streeter did not worry about nerves on his way to clinching his second title of the season.
“I didn’t feel the pressure during the play-off because I’m a rookie and Jiménez is a Senior Major winner,” he said. “I felt less pressure during the play-off than I did in normal time.
“To hit that second shot on 18 that close and below the hole, I couldn’t have put it in a better place, so it was great to finish like that.
“I’d say that shot is up there with the best I’ve hit in my career. To do it against such a great champion like Miguel makes it feel even better.
“My goal was to win this year, so to win twice wasn’t part of the plan. To finish inside the top 20 on the Order of Merit and to win once was my goal, so to win again feels fantastic.” Jiménez, who was making his maiden regular Staysure Tour appearance, took the runner-up spot, while fellow overnight leader Rafael Gomez recorded a round of 70, two-under-par, to take a share of third place alongside David Shacklady after his bogey-free round of 67.
The final round of the inaugural event was also the last professional round for Eamonn Darcy.
The four-time European Tour winner, who holed the winning putt in the 1987 Ryder Cup as Europe won for the first time on American soil, signed for a bogey-free five-under-par round of 67, just one shot shy of shooting his age of 66.
