| Jimenez wins Desert Classic In a scintillating finish at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic, Jimenez held off a stiff challenge from England’s Lee Westwood in a sudden death playoff to win the title.
The playoff here at the Emirates Golf Club on a pleasant Sunday, could have been prevented had the inaugural Race to Dubai winner Westwood fired an eagle on the par-5 18th hole. But the European No.1 missed it by a whisker and then tapped to get a birdie that forced a play-off after they were tied at 11-under. |
