Wins his third PGA TOUR Champions title in just his 10th start on Tour and wins an event
for the third year in a row.
His bogey-free, final-round 8-under-par 64 was the lowest final round in tournament
history.
Played his final 30 holes without a bogey and led all players with 17 birdies.
His previous wins on PGA TOUR Champions were at the 2014 Greater Gwinnett
Championship and the 2015 Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalai.
When he won in 2014, he became the 18th PGA TOUR Champions player to win in his
debut and was also the third player to win his debut in wire-to-wire fashion, joining Rod
Funseth (1983 Hall of Fame Tournament) and Bruce Fleisher (1999 Royal Caribbean
Classic) with that distinction.
Owns 15 wins on the European Tour and has played in well over 600 events on that Tour
which is the third most ever.
Has represented Spain 14 times in World Cup competition and is a four-time European
Ryder Cup performer.
Hails from Malaga, Spain.
What They Said…
Miguel has this mystique about him being the most interesting man in the world. What's he
really like?
SCOTT DUNLAP: I enjoy Miguel. Yeah, he's great. I mean, for all the guys that are just in the gym and
personal trainers and dieticians and all this other nonsense, the guy with the ponytail and paunch and
smoking a cigar. When I played with him last year in Hawaii, he was like 38th in the world and I said I
want to see the 37 that are better. I guess he's not in the Masters next week. I guess he's kind of
winding down out there on the main tour, but if that isn’t world class, I don't know what is.
Round Three Notes:
With his T6 finish, Bernhard Langer has now finished in the top-10 in all five events on the schedule this
year, the only player on Tour to have done so.
Bernhard Langer remains atop the Charles Schwab Cup standings with $517,050. Duffy Waldorf is
second with $384,990.
Glen Day’s T6 finish earned him a spot in the Mitsubishi Electric Classic the week of April 11th at the TPC
Sugarloaf near Atlanta. Day is currently the fifth alternate, but as a top-10 finisher not previously exempt,
he earns a berth in the field.
Michael Allen and Scott Verplank each rebounded from opening-round 3-over-par 75s to finish T11.
John Huston withdrew prior to the start of the final round with a back issue.
Defending champion David Frost finished T41.
The field averaged 73.199 for the event, a drop from last year’s average of 73.472.
The most difficult hole was No. 10 with an average score of 4.286, while No. 15 was the easiest at 4.735 (.265).
