DULUTH, Ga. -- Miguel Angel Jimenez quickly shifted his focus back to the Ryder Cup after winning his first Champions Tour event. Jimenez held off Bernhard Langer to win the Greater Gwinnett Championship on Sunday, becoming only the third player to lead from start to finish in his debut on the 50-and-over tour. Jimenez, coming off a fourth-place finish in the Masters, closed with a 67 to finish two strokes ahead of Langer. Jimenez finished the tournament with 32 consecutive holes without a bogey at TPC Sugarloaf. The Spaniard said he cant make a commitment to the Champions Tour this year because his goal is making the European Ryder Cup team. "To me its not about money," Jimenez said. "Its about some different goals to make me feel proud of myself. To me I would feel nice to play on the Ryder Cup once more." Langer, the defending champion, shot his third-straight 68. Jimenez and Langer were tied at 10 under before a two-shot swing on No. 8. Jimenez needed only a short putt for a birdie, and Langer fell two strokes behind with his bogey. After that, Jimenez avoided mistakes down the stretch, leaving no opening for Langer or Jay Haas, who shot 67 and was third, four shots off the lead. Jimenez insisted the win wasnt easy. "When you hit the ball straight and you put the ball close to the hole it looks easy, but nothing is easy," he said. "You need to keep calm yourself. ... I like to feel the pressure and ... the people that are coming behind bite me." Langer said his inability to make birdie putts kept him from putting pressure on Jimenez. "I had a number of opportunities, just couldnt make any putts today," Langer said. "And he played very, very solid all day." Jimenez stretched his lead to three strokes before he showed that on this day even his mistakes brought no harm. He hit his tee shot on No. 15 into a tree -- but it bounced back into the fairway. From there, he hit his next shot into a bunker but still salvaged par. The win assured, Jimenez tipped his visor to the fans as he walked up the 18th fairway. He then winked and blew a kiss to a TV camera. He brought his victory cigar to his postgame press conference. "I showed my game is in very good shape now," said Jimenez, who added he isnt complaining about life at 50. "Im very happy with my age and the way Im doing," he said. "The last 15 years is when my best golf is coming. Its nice. No complaint with 50." Langer said he doesnt expect to see Jimenez on the Champions Tour again this year. "He said he wasnt going to play anymore this year because he wants ... to be the oldest European player to ever play on the Ryder Cup," Langer said. "Thats his goal. But, you know, goals can sometimes change. Who knows, maybe he makes the Ryder Cup team by July and hell decide to come out for a couple of weeks." Fred Couples, in the final group with Jimenez and Langer, shot 70 and was fourth. Langer tied for eighth and Couples tied for 20th in the Masters. Jimenez said coming out on top of the high-profile group made the win even nicer. "Of course its satisfaction," Jimenez said. "The better quality the field, the more satisfied you are with the victory. All three were playing very well in the Masters. We all were in contention. Thats nice." Steve Pate, Duffy Waldorf and David Frost tied for fifth. Willie Wood shot 66 and was in a group tied for eighth. Jimenez became the second straight player to win in his debut on the Champions Tour, following Jeff Maggert in last months Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic. Rod Funseth (1983 Hall of Fame Tournament) and Bruce Fleisher (1999 Royal Caribbean Classic) are the only other players to lead from start to finish in their first Champions Tour events.

Wholesale Fake Balenciaga . "Ive got a lot of work to do on this team and the sooner that I can get back to my office and start that work, itll be better," he said straight-faced as the rest of the room erupted in laughter.Several big league teams stepped up their holiday shopping Tuesday and a bunch of players were on the go. A look at the most recent moves in baseball:MIKE MORSEA key contributor for the San Francisco Giants in their run to the World Series championship, Mike Morse and the Miami Marlins agreed to a $16 million, two-year contract. A person familiar with the agreement confirmed the deal to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because it had not been finalized.The Marlins expect Morse to replace Garrett Jones as their first baseman and to bat cleanup. Miami has been busy this off-season, signing slugger Giancarlo Stanton to a record $325 million contract and trading for All-Star second baseman Dee Gordon and pitchers Mat Latos and Dan Haren.ANGELS-RAYS TRADEThe Los Angeles Angels acquired outfielder Matt Joyce from the Tampa Bay Rays for right-handed reliever Kevin Jepsen.The Angels see Joyce as a designated hitter who can bat in the No. 2 spot, letting AL MVP Mike Trout to hit third in front of Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton. Joyce is normally an outfielder, and could give Hamilton more time at DH.Jepsen was the Angels seventh-inning specialist last year, his seventh with the team. He set career bests with 65 innings, 75 innings and a 2.63 ERA.BRANDON MCCARTHYThe Los Angeles Dodgers finalized a deal with pitcher Brandon McCarthy for $48 million over four years. He eagerly joined the rotation for the NL West champions.McCarthy was 7-5 with a 2.89 ERA in 14 starts for the Yankees. They got him from Arizona in early July 6 after he started out 3-10 with a 5.01 ERA.McCarthy is 52-65 overall and has never won more than 10 games in a season. Yeet he is popular on Twitter, where his wife, Amanda, is constantly sending updates.ddddddddddddHRIS CAPUANONeeding starting pitchers, the New York Yankees reached agreement with Chris Capuano on a $5 million, one-year deal. A person familiar with the negotiations confirmed the move on condition of anonymity because it hadnt yet been announced.The 36-year-old Capuano is a classic crafty left-hander. He was with Boston and Colorado last season before joining the Yankees in late July, and he went 2-3 with a 4.25 ERA in 12 starts for them.Capuano likely joins a rotation that could include Masahiro Tanaka, CC Sabathia and Michael Pineda — all coming off injuries.DANIEL DESCALSOThe first big league signing of Jeff Bridichs tenure as general manager of the Colorado Rockies was far more sensible than splashy.The Rockies needed a versatile infielder, and added Daniel Descalso with a $3.6 million, two-year contract. Descalso spent the past five years with St. Louis, and hit .242 in 104 games last season.ALEX RODRIGUEZYankees general manager Brian Cashman says that Alex Rodriguezs days as an everyday fielder are over in the Bronx.A-Rod turns 40 in July and was suspended for the entire 2014 season for violations of baseballs drug agreement and labour contract. The Yankees plan to limit the former All-Star third baseman to full-time duty as a DH — at most.I cant expect Alex to be anything, Cashman said during a telephone interview with The Associated Press. Ive got to think the worst and hope for the best. Even before the suspension, he wasnt the same player at third base on the defensive or offensive side. And that was before the suspension. ' ' '
