Wilson ended up in the greenside bunker; Jiménez at the back of the green. Jiménez three-putted for a par 5 which was matched by Wilson. The players headed once again for the 18th tee, this time Jiménez was able to get home in two after a superb drive; Wilson, on the other hand could only manage a lay up after he missed his tee shot to the right. Wilson managed to play his approach shot to 12 feet (3.6m), but his putt slipped by. Jiménez managed to two-putt for a birdie 4 and the title.https://www.pgatour.com/news/2008/05/25/jimenez.html Jimenéz wins BMW PGA Championship in a playoff 25 May 2008 PGA Tour 2 May 2020 PlacePlayerScoreTo parMoney (€)1 Miguel Ángel Jiménez Spain 5-4 −1 750,0002 Oliver Wilson England 5-5 E 500,000 References Category:BMW PGA Championship Category:Golf tournaments in England BMW PGA Championship BMW PGA Championship BMW PGA Championship
