Speaking of his win over Jimenez, Jeev said: “It was a do-or-die situation out there. I was one down after the 14th hole. On the 15th I got a birdie. On the 16th it was a good putt about 20-foot. On the 17th, I made a great birdie to go 1-up. On the final hole, I had to half it with Miguel or win it for the team to go into the playoff. It’s always good to do something for the team.”
After Jeev’s effort tied the match at 8-8, in the play-off, the Korean duo of K T Kim and Y E Yang beat Ryder Cup hero Nicolas Colsaerts and Francesco Molinari to win the title.u00a0
