Without a real cabal, the possibility of winning two weeks in a row in golf rises above million. Miguel Ángel Jiménez, at age 61, positioned himself in Aloha Golf, in the Staysure Marbella Legends, in the ring that grants that possibility after the penultimate round, in which he went to sign the best card (67 blows) of all the Contenders. It was three blows to English Simon Griffiths, a distance approachable, although rocky.
It seemed that Jiménez would take it with philosophy these days in his land. The legends Tour does not have the grandiosity of the Champions or the economic muscle, although one sees the contestants on the coast of the Sun – four majors winners, in addition to types such as Colin Montgomerie – and observe the level that exists. The ‘Pisha’ orchestrated four Birdies in the last five holes, a sequence superior to the one that gave him the victory in the Hassan II trophy last week, and of a stroke presented his candidate.
Thus completed a total of seven birdies and two bogeys, which led him to third position and that opened the door of hope for Sunday, although Griffiths, from more to less, seconds nine insuly holes, issued signs that the pressure is For all the same on the Marbellí tour
“The day has been quite well, in the end minus 5. I have played quite solid and in the second 9 holes there has been a couple of good putts, about 5-6 meters in the 6 and in the 7 that have come very well” , Jiménez told the organization. The rest quite well, solid the game and there we are. ”
Meanwhile, José María Olazábal is eighth after signing 71 blows, one low. The joy he exhibited Thursday based on Birdies was more restrained on Friday. Only two successes and three errors distanced him from the leadership and put the comeback in difficulties. “The ghosts of before have returned,” said Fueguerrabía.
