East Lothian, Scotland (Sports Network) – Miguel Angel Jimenez played a steady round on Friday at Muirfield to grab the clubhouse lead at the British Open Championship.<\/p>\n
The Spaniard posted one birdie and one bogey on both nines for an even-par 71. He left the course with the clubhouse lead, but was one stroke behind Angel Cabrera. Zach Johnson rallied to regain the lead well after Jimenez finished his round.<\/p>\n
Jimenez, who is playing in his 61st major championship, has posted just eight top-10 finishes in the majors, with a runner-up finish at the 2000 U.S. Open being his best finish. Of course, he was a mile behind Tiger Woods that week.<\/p>\n
Jimenez started his second round with his second birdie in two days at the second. He gave that stroke back as he bogeyed the fourth.<\/p>\n
After six straight pars from the fifth, Jimenez birdied the 11th to move to 4-under. He stumbled to a bogey at the 14th to dip back to minus-3. Jimenez parred the last four to end there.<\/p>\n
Jimenez has notched two top-10s at the PGA Championship. He shared third in 2001 and tied for ninth last year at the Open Championship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
