Des Smyth wants to win in his swinging 60s after losing his oldest winner’s record to Miguel Angel Jiménez.

Miguel Angel Jimenez tonight celebrated becoming the European Tour’s oldest-ever winner – after a week which could have seen him fall outside the world’s top 100 for the first time in nine years.

It is extremely rare for Rory McIlroy’s caddy to walk into the scorer’s hut on the first day of any tournament enquiring of the cut-off mark.

Bernhard Langer’s 16th attempt to become the oldest winner in European Tour history might just be the one when he finally does it.

Retief Goosen would not be his first choice as somebody to try to catch, but Bernhard Langer has another chance this weekend to become the oldest champion in European Tour history.
