in the groove Record breakers 29 Image Credit: Jed Jacobsohn/ Getty Images Donald Trump Miguel Angel Jimenez Smoking Hot Good food, good wine, good cigars and some exercise is Miguel Angel Jimenez’s secret to his longevity on tour. The 50-year-old won the Open de Espana at the first extra hole against Australian Richard Green—to break his own record as the oldest winner in European Tour history. It was the Spaniard’s 27th attempt to win his home Open and he became the first multiple winner of the 2014 European Tour season following his victory in December at the Hong Kong Open. In April, Jimenez finished fourth in the Masters at Augusta. Seven days later he won the Greater Gwinnett Championship in Georgia on his Champions Tour debut. Donald Trump Donald Trump Lucy Li 11-year-old Californian Lucy Li heads to Pinehurst No. 2 as the youngest person to qualify for the US Women’s Open. The sixth grader shot rounds of 74 and 68 at Half Moon Bay near San Francisco to win the sectional qualifier on May 19 by a staggering seven shots. Lexi Thompson and Morgan Pressel were both aged 12 when they competed in their first US Women’s Open. Martin Kaymer Former world No. 1 and 2010 PGA Champion Martin Kaymer took out The PLAYERS Championship with a gutsy one shot win over American Jim Furyk. The 29-year-old German closed out his final round with three consecutive pars including holing a clutch 28-foot putt in near darkness at the 17th green. The unlikely par-save was the longest par putt made on No. 17 since 2003. Sixth Grade Shot in the Dark Pinehurst No. 2 This year PInehurst No. 2 enjoys the honour of hosting both the 2014 US Open and US Women’s Open. It marks the first time in history that both major tournaments will be played in the same year, on the same course. Opened in 1907, Pinehurst No. 2—which hosted the 1999 and 2005 US Opens— will become the only site to have hosted all five USGA Championships. Adam Scott When it comes to winning big in Texas, world No. 1 Adam Scott is the Tour’s Lone Star. The 33-year-old Aussie became the first player-ever to claim all four Texas PGA Tour events after adding the 2014 Crowne Plaza Invitational to previous wins at 2007 Houston Open, 2008 Byron Nelson Championship & 2010 Valero Texas Open.
