Miguel Angel Jimenez seeks solace at Indian Open

Miguel Angel Jimenez will look to get over the disappointment of not being chosen as Europe’s next Ryder Cup captain by extending his own record as the European Tour’s oldest winner in the Hero Indian Open.

Jimenez and Thomas Bjorn lost out to Darren Clarke in the battle to lead Europe’s bid for a fourth straight victory at Hazeltine in 2016 when the five-man selection panel met at Wentworth.

Clarke was the unanimous choice of former captains Paul McGinley, Jose Maria Olazabal and Colin Montgomerie and European Tour chief executive George O’Grady and players’ representative David Howell.
