Jimenez off to good start at Gleneagles

A year-long marathon to make Europe’s Ryder Cup team entered the final few laps at Gleneagles today, but 46-year-old Miguel Angel Jimenez did not appear to be feeling the strain.

Pushed down into the ninth and last automatic qualifying spot by Peter Hanson’s Czech Open win on Sunday, Jimenez made a late decision to play in the Johnnie Walker Championship rather than take the week off.
