The 40-year-old Jimenez, seeking his fifth title this year, had led after the first round and Garcia after the second.

Defending champion Ernie Els shot a 66. Els was tied for fourth with Eduardo Romero, Craig Spence and Graeme McDowell, four strokes off the lead.

"My family is here and I am having a great time," Jimenez said. "It sounds like a holiday. When you are on holiday and you make a good profit as well; it is nice."
