Spain's Jimenez wins BMW PGA Championships

Miguel-Angel Jimenez of Spain won the 600,000-pound (754,000-euro) BMW PGA Championships here on Sunday after a play-off against Oliver Wilson of England.

The 44-year old won the second play-off hole, after holing a two foot putt to secure a birdie four, against Wilson's par five.

Both players shot 68 to finish as joint leaders on 11 under par, after a nerve-wracking final afternoon, when the lead changed hands on several occasions.

But the drama continued into the play-off, as the advantage swung first to Jimenez and then to Wilson on the first extra hole, the par five 18th.

Despite reaching the green in two, with Wilson languishing in a greenside bunker, Jimenez could only manage a five, leaving 27-year-old Wilson with a 10-foot putt to win.

But his effort slid out of the hole and the pair headed back to the 18th tee to try again.

Second time around, Jimenez again held the upper hand after his second shot found the heart of the 18th green in two, with Wilson on the green in three.
