Jiménez does Double in Portugal
|
|
| Miguel Angel Jiménez became the first player on the European Tour to win
two titles in 2004 when he recorded a 2 stroke victory over Terry Price at the Algarve
Open de Portugal Caixa Geral de Depositos. His first win this year was at the Johnnie
Walker Classic in January. His 5 under par final round of 67 brought his total for the
week to 272, 16 under par. |

Australian Terry Price started the day tied for 25th place, 5 shots off
the pace but equalled the course record of 64 (set earlier in the day by Sweden's Robert
Karlsson who finished T16) to vault himself into second spot with a 14 under total of 274.
This is 43 year old Price's second year on the European Tour having played most of his
career in his native Australia and Asia. |
| Third place was shared by Sweden's Klas Eriksson and Northern Ireland's
Graeme McDowell. They both had 5 under par final rounds of 67 to finish the tournament one
shot back from Price, with minus 13, 275s. |

fifth place, four strokes behind the winner on 276. |
