Miguel Angel Jimenez might 'sweat like a pig,' but he leads in hot Wisconsin

MADISON, Wis. – Miguel Angel Jimenez had two eagles in a 7-under 65 in hot and humid conditions Friday to take the first-round lead in the PGA Tour Champions’ American Insurance Championship.

“Hot, sweat like a pig,” Jimenez said.

Jimenez eagled the par-5 16th and second holes and had four birdies and a bogey in the round that start on the back nine at University Ridge. The 57-year-old Spaniard has 10 victories on the 50-and-over tour after winning 21 times on the European Tour.

“I’ve been playing very solid. I played very, very solid all day,” Jimenez said.
