THE SENIOR OPEN PRESENTED BY ROLEX


July 26, 2018


Miguel Angel Jimenez


St Andrews, Fife, Scotland, United Kingdom

Q. Do you get the old feeling of excitement here?
MIGUEL ÁNGEL JIMÉNEZ: It's always nice. There's a mystique and you know you always have to play on the left side and be in position and stay out of the bunkers, that's the main thing. But always a pleasure coming here to the Home of Golf and playing St. Andrews.

Q. You've had some interesting times here, haven't you, I remember back at 17 against the wall. But that's what happens at St. Andrews, it's always fun.
MIGUEL ÁNGEL JIMÉNEZ: Sometimes you can have those kind of shots, a shot for the history, they are going to be there for ever.

Q. I hope you didn't do that today.
MIGUEL ÁNGEL JIMÉNEZ: No, I hit a beautiful second shot and I made seven foot for birdie and the hole is moving. I hit a beautiful shot there but it happens; golf.

Q. Playing well? I see you won a nice major. Good to get a senior major, as well?
MIGUEL ÁNGEL JIMÉNEZ: Very nice. I'm playing very well, very solid today. I've been playing well all year in the state and today I have a bogey-free round. But I miss only one shot on 11, and I make a beautiful shot from down there and I recovered. Then hit a good shot, a little bit too low on 16 where I put my ball in the bunker. I put it sideways and then hit a beautiful shot there and holed a 6-foot putt for par. That's the only thing, a lot of shots for birdies, and I'm happy with the way I played.

Q. And what a great three ball. There's a lot of titles between Langer, Watson and you between you. Was that quite enjoyable?
MIGUEL ÁNGEL JIMÉNEZ: Very enjoyable. All three of us play well and that's something that's always good. Someone by your side who is playing good, he's making birdies, keeps the focus on making birdies.
