Miguel Angel Jiménez continued his brilliant season by capturing the third specialty in the PGA Tour Champions Slate, the Kaulig class championship, on Sunday in Akron, Ohio.
Jiménez, who triumphed for the fourth time in 2025, defeated Steven Alker in the second extra hole of a playoff in the famous Signone Country Club. He drained a 20 -foot putt Birdie in hole 18 after Alker lost from the distance of Jiménez.
The 61 -year -old Spanish was two blows behind Alker arriving at Hole 17. But he hit both numbers 17 and 18 to reach 10 under a 270 and forcing a playoff.
“It was a good ending, right?” Jiménez said. “… I hit a beautiful second shot on the 17th, I hit the ball like 2 1/2 meters or so and I slipped on the putt. And then, on the 18th, I hit a beautiful driver there and a wedge 52 and then a putt for Birdie up there.
“I have played the solid legs, very well. And then I missed a couple or put me there, I do two bogeys, but pleased, very solid, and I just made two birdies to end in hole 72 and now in the playoff, well, well, the fierstie was lost in the fierstie, he failed, in the faithful, in the faithful, he lost the first time, he lost the first time. The first time, in the first time, in the first time, Heythe Birdie, Heythe Birdie.
The playoff combatants entered the final round tied at 8 below after 66 consecutive from Jiménez. Each loaded 2 children under 68 on Sunday and ended two shots of Stewart Cink, who recorded a 66 for a total of four days of 8 Foundation 272.
Steve Flesch tied the best of the week with a 5 bass 65 and finished three blows behind at 7 below.
Jiménez assured his third senior student, but the first since he won the tradition of the regions and the Open Open Open Championship in 2018. He now has 17 victories in his career on the 50 and more tour and recited an invitation to play in the 2026 players championship.
Jiménez’s first victory of the season occurred at the Trophy Hassan II in Morocco, which also occurred at the expense of Alker. The New Zealand native, 53, lost for two blows to Jiménez in February and lamented some elements of Sunday’s final round.
“Yes, I had the opportunity to win the golf tournament,” Alker said. “It was a careless golf in the middle, I had a child or fight mentally in some lost streets … but I was really proud or how I or in the section. I arrived in the last one like five streets or some products or simply gift.
“Miguel, the way he ended, simply did Miguel’s things again, do you know what I mean? So congratulations to him.”
Cink, 52, is enjoying his time on tour and competition.
“I would say he feels like an important of the regular tours, but he feels like professional golf when you are in dispute and you have a chans to win on Sunday in the PGA Tour champions,” said Cink. “That is what I love is that you have the opportunity to be in content a lot and try yourself, and in a course like Firestone feels as important as possible.”
Then, the players go to the Broadmoor Golf Club in Colorado Springs, Colorado, for the US Senior Open. UU., Which begins on Thursday.
