2014 Spanish Open Winner - Jimenez wins Open de Espana playoff
It needed a playoff to determine the Spanish Open, the year's first European Tour event on the mainland. The winner is one of the most popular characters in world golf. Here are 5 Things you need to know from this week's European Tour event.
Who'd bet against Miguel Angel Jimenez playing in this year's Ryder Cup at the ripe old age of 50? Not many.
Like fine Rioja wine, the Spaniard matures with age. That was obvious as he earned his 21st European Tour win in a playoff with Australia's Richard Green and Belgium's Thomas Pieters. Fourteen of those wins have come after he turned 40.
The senior golfer earned victory with a par at the first extra hole, the 18th. Cue celebrations featuring Cuban cigars and expensive bottles of vino tinto.
2013 Spanish Open Winner - Jacquelin wins Spanish Open in nine-hole playoff
Raphael Jacquelin of France won a record-tying playoff at the Spanish Open on Sunday after finally edging out Germany's Maximilian Kieffer on their ninth try at the 18th hole.
Jacquelin made a five-foot birdie putt to end the two-hour battle with Kieffer in what started as a three-way playoff including Chile's Felipe Aguilar.
The three players were tied at 5-under 283, with Jacquelin and Kieffer both carding a 1-under 71 in the final round while Aguilar finished with a 70.
It was Jacquelin's fourth European Tour victory and his first in over two years.
The only other European Tour event to be decided by a nine-hole playoff was the 1989 Dutch Open.
Jacquelin started the day four shots off the pace, but overnight leader Mark Warren bogeyed four of his last five holes in a late collapse, finishing with a 76 to sit one shot behind the leading trio. Jacquelin, meanwhile, made his fifth birdie of the day on the par-4 18th to make the playoff.
2012 Spanish Open Winner - Francesco Molinari wins Spanish Open
Francesco Molinari finally returned to winning ways today – and did it with one of the finest rounds of his career.
The Italian Ryder Cup star produced a best-of-the-week 65, seven under par, to turn a four-stroke deficit into a three-shot win at the Spanish Open in Seville.
Molinari was ranked 14th in the world when he beat Lee Westwood at the HSBC Champions event in Shanghai nearly 18 months ago, but this was his first success since then.
While he celebrated his third European Tour victory, however, overnight leader Simon Dyson was left to reflect on a 76 that dealt a big blow to his Ryder Cup hopes.
Nobody in the top 50 scored worse on the final day, Dyson falling to joint 12th – and that after starting with two birdies.
Dane Soren Kjeldsen and Spaniards Alejandro Canizares and Pablo Larrazabal finished joint second, but Molinari outplayed them all to take the first prize of more than £271,000.
2011 Winner - Thomas Aiken
South African Thomas Aiken lifted his first European Tour title at the Open de España - and was quick to dedicate the win to three-time winner Seve Ballesteros.
The 27 year old from Johannesburg, playing his first tournament after a seven-week lay-off, shot a closing 70 at El Prat near Barcelona to beat Dane Anders Hansen by two.
Aiken took the first prize of €333,330 with a ten under par total of 278.
With all the players again wearing black ribbons in memory of the Spanish superstar, Aiken became the fifth South African to win on The European Tour already this season – Masters Tournament champion Charl Schwartzel among them, of course.
He resumed two in front and doubled that with birdies at the second and sixth.
He added another on the short 11th and after failing to get up and down from sand at the 223 yard 13th he came straight back with a further birdie.
Three-putting the 15th cut the gap to three again and when he drove into sand down the 17th the outcome was still far from certain.
However, Aiken, six times a winner in his home country, saved par and finished with another.
Playing partner Hansen, never able to pile on the pressure, birdied the par five last to push Scotland's Scott Jamieson and Spaniard Pablo Larrazábal into joint third.
