Els and Jiménez: Headliners Fail to Shine
South African star Ernie Els, who was playing in his second consecutive Macau Open, never got going and wound up finishing the event in a share of 26th, 14 shots behind Lahiri. The four-time major winner, who is himself sponsored by The Venetian Macao, did at least manage to better his co-headliner, Miguel Angel Jiménez. The Spaniard, a four-time Hong Kong Open champion who had surprisingly missed the cut at Fanling the week before after complaining of a gastric-related virus, put together matching rounds of one-over 72 to miss out on the weekend, action again by a shot. Jiménez was making his Macau Open debut.
