After James Morrison cruised to a four-shot victory Sunday in the Spanish Open, the two-time European Tour winner and his final-round playing partner David Howell engaged in the usual post-tourney congratulatory hug.
Except things did not go quite as planned for the English winner, who went in for the clinch with hat in hand and came away empty-handed. Check it out:
Morrison, who started the day tied with countryman Howell, pulled away with a blemish-free 3-under 69 in the finale for his first victory in five years.
Morrison may have come away with the W, but Miguel Angel Jimenez once again stole the show. The 51-year-old Spaniard, who aced the eighth hole on Friday and celebrated with his customary jig, holed out for an eagle on the fifth and a few more dance steps on Sunday.
STOP IT Miguel! Eagle two for Jimenez at the fifth hole. An eight iron from 158 yards has him dancing again. #legend pic.twitter.com/Y3MQUtcNv8
