ATLANTA, May 27, 2008 – Srixon’s Miguel Angel Jimenez came from four shots back on Sunday to win the European PGA Tour’s BMW PGA Championship. Jimenez forced a playoff and sunk a 2-foot birdie on the second playoff hole to claim victory. On the PGA Tour, Srixon’s Tim Clark finished T-2nd at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial.
Using the Srixon Z-URS golf ball, Jimenez fired rounds of 70-67-72-68 to finish at 11-under-par 277. His finish launched him to the top of the Order of Merit and will almost certainly earn him his third Ryder Cup appearance in September.
Clark once again was a bridesmaid, finishing second at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial. Clark birdied 16 and 17 on Sunday and lipped out on 18 to record his fourth career second-place finish. He played solid all week with rounds of 68-69-64-66 with his Srixon irons and Z-URC golf ball.
Jimenez and Clark will be teeing it up in two weeks at the 2008 U.S. Open. Joining them at Torrey Pines will be Srixon players Jim Furyk, Henrik Stenson, Robert Allenby, John Rollins and Steve Flesch.
