Timeless Jimenez leads pack
Print Edition
SPANISH veteran Miguel Angel Jimenez squeezed his way to the front of the pack at the Thailand Classic yesterday, picking up 11 birdies to take a one-shot overnight lead over local boy Kiradech Aphibarnrat.
The 51-year-old Jimenez — the oldest player in the field — got off to a flyer and birdied five of the first 12 holes, ending with a 66 for the day and 133 overall. Kiradech led the chasers, with a five-under par 67 while another local favorite, Thongchai Jaidee, hit a tidy 66, to return to the clubhouse two shots off the pace at the US$2 million tournament in Hua Hin.
The day also brought joy for another Thai, Panuphol Pittayarat, whose reward for a hole-in-one on the 14th par three was a four-storey townhouse worth US$370,000 on the Black Mountain Golf Club resort.
It proved to be ample consolation for a disappointing round that saw him finish two over par and out off contention for the weekend cut.
