Jimenez’s second hole-in-one of the tournament propels him to his second win of the season at Tucson’s PGA Tour Champions event.
Michael Lev Miguel Angel Jimenez pulled a 6-iron out of his bag on the 14th tee box at Omni Tucson National Resort on Sunday. It was the same club he had used to make a hole-in-one on No. 7 two days earlier.
Past champions Bernhard Langer and Woody Austin, playing in the second-to-last group, tied for second place at 14 under par. Both pushed Jimenez as hard as they could, shooting 65 and 66, respectively. But Jimenez’s game was on another level. Even Langer, who’s two victories shy of Hale Irwin’s record of 45 career wins on the PGA Tour Champions, had to acknowledge as much.
Jimenez needed to remain steady after making the ace — the 13th of his professional career. Although he had what seemed like an insurmountable lead — it wasn’t a matter of whether he’d win the tournament at the point but by how much — Jimenez still had four holes to play. Three of them featured water hazards.
Jimenez also reached the green in two on the 587-yard par-5 eighth. He two-putted for birdie to get to 16 under. “I played with him yesterday,” Austin said of Jimenez. “He hit it good, made a bunch, made it from everywhere. pretty good when you make two holes-in-one in the same week. There’s four shots right there. That might be the four shots that he had me by.”“Obviously he’s on top of his game,” Austin said. “He is a superstar as far as the Champions goes.”
