Jimenez Wins the BMW PGA Championship
Miguel Angel Jimenez sealed victory at the BMW PGA Championship on the second play-off hole with a birdie at the 18th after Oliver Wilson only made par. Both players carded final-round 68s, ending up on 11 under, with Jimenez firing a hole-in-one at the 5th.
Jimenez was in joint second with Wilson going into the final day and both players fought out an enthralling duel as Robert Karlsson fell away, the lead changing several times.
Wilson, seven times a runner-up on the European Tour now without ever winning, had four birdies in his opening seven holes while Jimenez briefly moved to 12 under with three birdies and that hole in one.
Jimenez’s victory means that Open champion Padraig Harrington drops out of the top 10 on Europe’s Ryder Cup list while Wilson is now in an automatic spot for the first time in seventh place.
