Miguel Angel Jimenez clinched his third PGA Tour Champions title this year with a dramatic playoff victory at the Principal Charity Classic in Iowa.

Miguel Angel Jimenez triumphed at the Principal Charity Classic on Sunday, held at the Wakonda Club in Des Moines, Iowa, marking his third PGA Tour Champions victory of the year. The 61-year-old Spanish golf legend defeated Soren Kjeldsen and Cameron Percy with a birdie on the first hole of a playoff.

Jimenez showcased his skill by closing with a birdie on the 311-yard, par-4 18th, finishing with a 2-under 70. He then secured the win with a 4-foot birdie putt on the extra hole. This victory adds to his impressive career tally of 16 PGA Tour Champions wins, including earlier triumphs at the Trophy Hassan II in Morocco and the Hoag Classic in California.

Kjeldsen and Percy both put up strong performances, finishing at 17-under 199. Kjeldsen carded a 63, while Percy shot a 67. Kevin Sutherland was just one stroke behind after a solid 68.

Jimenez's consistent play throughout the tournament, with opening rounds of 63 and 66, set the stage for his wire-to-wire victory. His ability to perform under pressure in the playoff highlighted his experience and composure on the course.

This win not only cements Jimenez's status as one of the top players on the PGA Tour Champions but also continues his remarkable season. Fans and fellow players alike are eagerly watching to see what he will achieve next in this competitive golf circuit.
