Miguel Makes it Three

Jiménez joins the legendary Peter Thomson as a three-time winner of the UBS Hong Kong Open after a performance for the ages

Michael Campbell is starting to show some of the form that earned him the 2005 US Open title

Campbell, the 2005 US Open champion, has had a torrid time of things since lifting the World Match Play title seven years ago, but a tie for third in Portugal in October boosted his confidence, and for 63 holes the New Zealander was right in the mix with Jiménez. A scrappy closing stretch demoted Campbell into a tie for eighth, but the ever-popular Kiwi showed something he hasn't done for years – heart.

"I can reflect on a very positive week," declared Campbell. "I felt the desire has returned, the will to win and the belief I can do it again. I've still got plenty to work on but it feels great to be involved – to be playing in the final group – once more. I wish this was the beginning of the season and not the end but I've got a smile on my face and there's a lot to be said for that."

 Matteo Manassero vaulted in contention with a third-round 64
