Miguel Ángel Jiménez, 56, continues to make the news in the US. New magic holes in South Dakota, in a tournament in which there were audiences without the obligation to use masks -surprising for a Champions Tour event where golfers are beginning to be a risk group-, gave it the victory in the Sanford Invitational. It was the first time the US Senior Circuit had admitted spectators since the pandemic. According to AP, the two Dakotas are the places in the United States that top the list of new cases of Coronavirus.
It is Miguel’s tenth victory since joining this circuit, the second he has achieved this season which places him second in the US Order of Merit behind Langer.
“Where is the champagne?” Jimenez joked, who appreciated the presence of the public. “We were losing public all this time. This is the beginning of the return to life as we knew it,” he told the press after lifting the title and before lighting up an Arturo Fuentes, the cigar that now occupies the first position in his ranking of cigars . “Life is very short and you have to enjoy every moment,” recalled the man from Malaga. It so happens that in this tournament, Mark Calcavecchia was diagnosed with Coronavirus last Sunday in the tests prior to the Sioux Falls tournament.
