Miguel Angel Jimenez eyes off a cigar and a bottle of wine on the ‘best terrace in the world’ after shooting 63 at Hong Kong Open
The four-time winner fires seven birdies to finish on a high after three indifferent days
Miguel Angel Jimenez was quick to shift his focus to an afternoon on the “best terrace in the world” after shooting a tournament low 63 on the final day of the UBS Hong Kong Open.
After some indifferent golf left the Spaniard one under after three days, he conjured some of the magic that has seen him win here four times in the last 13 years.
“I’m going to find my cigar and I’m going to have a bottle of wine on the terrace, because this is maybe not the most beautiful terrace in the world, but it’s the best terrace in the world,” Jimenez said of his plans to celebrate his seven-under round. “I played really, really well today.”
It was a near-faultless closing round from the laconic 53-year-old, who shot seven birdies on a day he always seemed to find a way to get himself out of trouble when needed.
He didn’t drop a shot throughout, kick-starting his run with a two on the par-three second on his way to four birdies in his first six holes.
