Jimenez shoots 63 to lead 3M Championship

The last time I was writing about Miguel Jimenez was at Carnoustie in the Senior British Open, where he was in complete control with a 4 shot lead but blew up to a messy 75 in the final round, to end up three strokes behind surprise winner, Paul Broadhurst.

So he has been playing very well, apart from that Sunday two weeks ago, and he has brought that form from Scotland to Minnesota.

He has made a habit of playing well when he comes over here, remember he won in March for his third career PGA Tour Champions title down in Mississippi. Yesterday he took the lead with a -9 63 -14 total, a shot better than last year's runner up, Kevin Sutherland -8 64 -13 total.

Glen Day 65 67 -12 is next while Colin Montgomerie and Jeff Maggert each shot 67 and are lurking on -11 on what can only be described as a generous TPC Twin Cities course with it's wide open fairways.

So let's see if the most interesting man in golf can hold them all off as he has done many times, remember he has 15 European Tour victories, the last at home in the 2014 Spanish Open to go with his wins in the States.

He is very disappointed not to make the Spanish team for Rio2016, and was saying post round that he put too much pressure on himself earlier in the year, but now that he  has missed out he is just playing freely.

I’m confident with my game right now, just play my game right now.”

Canadians: Stephen Ames T19 68 69 -7, Rod Spittle T37 66 74 -4.
