Like a fine wine, it’s Jimenez

Miguel Angel Jimenez became the oldest European Tour winner Sunday by shooting a 5under-par 65 to take the Hong Kong Open title.

At 48 years and 318 days, the Spaniard surpassed the previous record set by Ireland’s Des Smyth, who was 48 years and 34 days when he won the 2001 Madeira Islands Open.

Jimenez earned his 19th tour victory and third Hong Kong title by making four straight birdies from the seventh hole in his third straight bogey-free round to finish with a 15-under total of 265 on the suburban Fanling course.

As always, Jimenez celebrated his success with a glass of Rioja and a cigar. “There is maybe olive oil in my joints, and drinking the nice Rioja wine and those things keeps me fit and flexible,” he said.
