Tee Times Spain Golf: McIlroy returns to winning ways, one and a half year later, in the cathedral of european golf

Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy has returned to winning ways, one and a half year later. And it has done it in the cathedral of European golf in the Wentworth Club in Surrey (England), a stroke over the Irish Shane Lowry, curiously not won the tournament a player of that island since 1958.

The week began with the breakup of the marriage commitment between two former world number one’s, golfer Rory McIlroy and tennis player Caroline Wozniacki just days after the couple sent their wedding invitations.

I just want my head is in the field this week, concentrate on the tournament and try to do well.  I’m not going to lie. It will be very difficult.” declared the Northern Irishman at newsroom one day before beginning to play in the most important circuit event, the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.

McIlroy was the week between the top places, the first three rounds with cardboards of 68, 71 and 69 strokes kept in the Top 5 of the tournament although the last 18 holes starting to seven strokes Thomas Bjorn after the great Dane gave a whole recital in the day on Saturday.

But this is golf, a sport where anything can happen as happened in the day of Sunday as McIlroy turned the classification until it remained, no more and no less than nine strokes to Bjorn.

Finally there were 66 strokes (-14) played by the champion, the best card of the day together with the Scottish Stephen Gallacher, Lowry (68) was second in solo -13, Bjorn (75) tied for third with Donald (70) with -12. Gallacher (66) and Dyson (67) closed the Top 5 with -9.

Pablo Larrazabal (71) was the best Spanish in seventh place with Stenson, Siem, Aiken and Francesco Molinari with -8 in total. With two more hits Rafa Cabrera-Bello (71) in 16th. The Swede keeps waiting for what happens across the Atlantic with Adam Scott in the Crowne Plaza Invitational, as the world title is at stake.

Open of Spain – a spectacular and vibrant, with the best outcome dreamed, the victory of a Spanish player Miguel Angel Jimenez, ‘the Pisha’ relentless ‘Mechanic’, pure-player which smokes after the deeds and that holes in the greens – the golfer at is 50 years depletes laudatory epithets as a result of its ongoing magic in his art, his golf.

And all with a thrilling denouement, three players runaway towards a title that ended up in the hands of Miguel Angel Jimenez, who recalled a crowning glory, on a first moment, the historic playoff prompting Raphael Jacquelin to lift the trophy, now twelve months ago.

This time, however, even though the Open of Spain has to be defined as beyond even the last breath in the last two years, all was resolved at the first hearing, when the atmosphere was buzzing with tension to the surface that only the greatest and most experts, as Miguel Angel Jimenez, are able to handle.

The Malaga born has now filled a big deficit in his curriculum that was for a long time. Patriotic to the core, Miguel Angel Jimenez was missing from his history the illustrious victory in the Open of Spain, a notch on his belt of successes that shines with tremendous pride, motivation more than enough to get another new cigar from his bag , lighting it sparingly and give cheers with the thousands of people who supported him all these days in PGA Catalunya Resort.

And, moreover the triumph, Miguel Angel Jimenez won the affection of all, with that particular form of understanding golf that crosses borders. His victory, his expected and desired triumph, further forged with sharp edging drama, doubts and uncertainties dotted here and there on his last tour that magnified so much more this last victory.

With young Thomas Pieters as companion star game, Malaga soon marked the territory, with a birdie on the first hole, demonstration that from the start he was going for it. The Belgian, leader on the 1st tee, lost that honorable condition because of three consecutive bogeys between holes 2 and 4, advantage taken by the famous MAJ to access the highest position, with Australian Richard Green stuck to his neck, both tied to the passage by Ecuador turn, critical to the Malaga born golfer.

Bogeys on holes 9 and 10 were a major break in the brilliant career of Miguel Angel Jimenez to the title, consecutive setbacks giving wings to Richard Green, starting a continuous trade-off decision between the two that also took part Thomas Pieters, persistent in his refusal to stay out of the fight for the title.

With tension to the surface, two holes were critical in the outcome of such a frantic and exciting history. At hole 14, Richard Green, first in the rough before making triple bogey, fought boldly for lost ground and joined a heads up on wat appeared an exclusive between experience and the burgeoning youth between Miguel Angel Jimenez and Thomas Pieters, between the consolidated golf and the yet to be constructed golf.

The Belgian, shamelessly, raised Jimenez to his greatest challenge, an eagle on the 15th hole that produced a new tie between the two at the top of the standings. From there, drama, heightened tension, agony, hundreds of nail biting on the perimeter of the streets and the greens by thousands of fans eager to the triumph of Miguel Angel Jimenez, who stumbled as Thomas Pieters on the 17th hole, opportunity provided at Richard Green, who joined a tachycardia playoff tiebreaker.

And it was there, at the peak moment, when Miguel Angel Jimenez, patient and serene, luxury spectator of trembling strokes by their rivals, smoked a new cigar, win number 21 on the European Tour, win number 1 in the Open of Spain. Number 1 for a Number 1 player.
