The world is a slightly happier place when Miguel Angel Jimenez wins golf tournaments and so it proved with his victory at the second playoff hole against poor Oliver Wilson, after they both finished at 11-under in regulation play, two shots clear of surprise package Luke Donald and Robert Karlsson, who we inadvertently hexed by claiming he would stroll to victory, rather than  stumble to a a tie for third with a last round 74.

It's Wilson we feel sorriest for, of course, after the seventh second place finish of his European Tour career and the fourth of the season. But then again, he did say he was going to buy himself an Aston Martin when he felt he deserved it. We get the bus to work every day, so we don't feel all that sorry for him after all.
