Miguel Angel Jiménez signed for a 4-over-par 39-37=76 following his opening round of the Open de España.
The 49-year-old Spaniard is making his 2013 debut. He had been sidelined with a broken right leg (tibia) sustained while skiing in late December. Jiménez couldn't lasso a birdie at Parador de El Saler in Valencia today, and he squared two bogeys and a double. Earlier this week, he admitted that he's not all the way back, but wanted to give it a go. "My leg is improving daily," he said. "I work out every morning in the gym and I’m actually a little ahead of schedule on my rehab. I am not one hundred per cent fit, but I want to test myself and see how I feel." MAJ added that the move to El Saler also captured his interest. "For me it’s the best course in Spain, and I love all the holes. ... I have many fond memories of El Saler. We used to play many tournaments in the 80s. ... The last I played was the 2003 Seve Trophy." This tournament bounces around, but Real Golf de Golf de Sevilla hosted in 2008, 2010 and 2012.

Miguel Angel Jiménez took a spill on the ski slopes in southern Spain, breaking the tibia in his right leg.

Here we go again. Yet another New Year's on deck and another world-class golfer goes down. Two years ago, Geoff Ogilvy injured his finger in Hawaii. Last year, Lucas Glover sustained an injury in his right knee, also in Hawaii, while Paul Casey took a tumble while snowboarding in Colorado, dislocating his shoulder. As for MAJ, he's out potentially through May. "It will take me three, four or five months to fully recover and play again at a competitive level," he said. "I have been playing well but that's just the way it goes in life." The Spaniard will turn 49 years of age on Jan. 5.

Miguel Angel Jiménez closed out the UBS Hong Kong Open with a 5-under-par 30-35=65 to post 15-under 265 and secure a one-stroke victory, in the process becoming the oldest winner in European Tour history.

The Spaniard was paired with fellow 54-hole co-leader, Michael Campbell, who faded home with a 72 at Hong Kong Golf Club in Fanling to finish in a share of eighth place with Pablo Larrazábal. Jiménez swallowed only two bogeys all week, both in an opening-round 65. Fredrik Andersson-Hed carded a bogey-free 64 in the finale, but settled for runner-up honors at 14-under 266. Last week's winner in Singapore, Matteo Manassero, shared third place with Marcus Fraser today. Jiménez, who won this tournament twice before (2005, 2008) will go in the books at age 48 years and 318 days. When Des Smyth won the Madeira Island Open in 2001 to established the previous record, he was age 48 years and 34 days.

The third round of the PGA Championship at Kiawah Island has been suspended for the day, forcing Miguel Angel Jimenez to finish up his final hole on Sunday morning at 7:45 a.m. ET.

Jimenez is 1-over-par for his round. A storm cell rolled through The Ocean Course and play was halted at 4:50 p.m. ET. After the third round is in the books, the plan is for the final round to begin at 11:44 a.m. off both tees in groups of three, with the final group teeing off at 1:45 p.m. The weather forecast for Sunday appears to be much better than it has been the past two days, so further delays are not expected.

Miguel Angel Jimenez has qualified for the PGA Championship in two weeks.

One of the remaining exemptions into the field of 156 at Kiawah Island reserves a tee time for each member of both Ryder Cup teams from 2010 as along as he sits inside the top 100 of the Official World Golf Ranking through the conclusion of play on July 29. Jimenez is 70th on the latest OWGR to qualify for his 14th PGA. Francesco Molinari (23rd) and Ian Poulter (29th) will join the Spaniard in the season's final major. Three Ryder Cuppers failed to qualify: Jeff Overton (103rd), Ross Fisher (122nd) and Edoardo Molinari (164th). While Overton was bumped, he stands an excellent chance of sneaking in since he finished 72nd on the special money list that ended at the RBC Canadian Open. The top 70 earned exemptions, but the alternates are plucked from those ranked 71st and lower in descending order. Neither Edoardo Molinari nor Fisher qualified for this week's WGC-Bridgestone Invitational and they aren't scheduled to compete in Reno, so both failed to qualify for the PGA.

Miguel Angel Jimenez posted an early 3-under-par 32-35=67 in the final round of the British Open and finished the week at even-par 280.

When Jimenez posted, he was well outside of the top 10. As the afternoon tee times struggled, his position improved all the way inside the top 10. He circled six birdies and squared three bogeys in his final navigation of Royal Lytham & St. Annes.

Miguel Angel Jimenez will compete in his 11th U.S. Open this week at Olympic Club.

His best finish came in 2000, when he tied for second behind Tiger Woods, who won in historic fashion. While it's been a rough year for the Spaniard, he did manage a trip to the third round of the Accenture Match Play. He missed the cut in last year's U.S. Open.

Miguel Angel Jimenez will tee it up at this week's World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship.

The Spaniard can be unpredictable at times but has a knack for showing up in big events. Case in point, he slayed fellow countryman Sergio Garcia at the Match Play before cooling off the sizzling Keegan Bradley. To be sure, he won't let much get under his skin this week.

Miguel Angel Jimenez went wire-to-wire in his 2-and-1 victory over Keegan Bradley in the Player Bracket in the second round of the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship.

In what was the final match to end today, the Spaniard started par-birdie-birdie to claim the first three holes. He never relinquished the lead despite Bradley reducing it to 1 up twice. MAJ held that advantage as they arrived at the par-4 17th hole. He'd win it with a par to end Bradley's run. Jimenez will face Rory McIlroy in what should be one of the most enjoyable matches of Friday's third round.

Miguel Angel Jimenez spun a bogey-free, 4-under-par 33-33=66 in his opening round of the British Open, finishing one back of the clubhouse lead.

Jimenez is 47 but that matters little as it translates to his golf game. The Spaniard landed only 10 greens in regulation but required just 24 putts. He found only one bunker. This is his nineteenth start at the British but first at Royal St. George's since 1993. In fact, his absence in 2003 was the only year since '93 that he didn't play. His only top 10 occurred at Royal Lytham & St. Annes in 2001.
