Miguel Angel Jimenez didn't play great golf in Sunday's playoff, but did enough to defeat Lee Westwood. Jimenez had three pars in the playoff and the last one was enough to beat Westwood.
Jimenez and Westwood, two of four third-round co-leaders, headed to the par- four ninth at the Emirates Golf Club for the third playoff hole. Westwood had chances on the previous holes and Jimenez did his share of scrambling, but when Westwood missed a six footer for par, it opened up the opportunity to win with a four foot putt which he made.Thongchai Jaidee, the third of four third-round co-leaders, had a one-over 73 and missed the playoff by a single stroke at minus-10. Also shooting 73 on the final day was defending champion Rory McIlroy and got a share of sixth with Alvaro Quiros. Tom Watson who is 60, played his first European Tour event since 1993 and shot a four-under 68 and tied for eighth with world No. 10 Henrik Stenson and Gregory Bourdy.
