ZANDVOORT, Netherlands (AP) — Nearly two decades after winning this tournament for the first time, Miguel Angel Jimenez of Spain shot a 6-under 64 Thursday for the first-round lead at the KLM Open.

Jimenez, the 1994 champion, had two bogeys and eight birdies. One of his birdies came when he holed a wedge from 40 yards at the 16th. Another on the 18th gave him the outright lead.

Robert Allenby of Australia and Gary Orr of Scotland are among a group of six players at 65 at Kennemer Golf and Country Club on the North Sea coast.
