He hit nearly two out of three fairways (62.5%, or 35 out of 56) on the ultra-challenging Spanish layout with an impressive driving distanceaverage of 293.4 yards per tee shot.
He led the field in driving distance (tied with Dustin Johnson with anaverage of 311 yards) and in scrambling (getting up and down in two shots from near the green).
The fast, baked fairways in Hong Kong enabled Jimenez - generally a 280-yard-a-time striker off the tee - to improve his driving distance stats considerably too with an overall tournament return of 304.9 yards on average.
