Miguel Angel Jimenez was critical after some unsavory scenes near the end of the KLM Open at Zandvoort.
The Dutch crowd went wild with delight when Joost Luiten became the first home grown player in 10 years to capture the premier Dutch event.
Luiten claimed his third Tour victory and his second this year when he pared the first extra play-off hole after moments earlier Jimenez’s par putt lipped-out.

However Jimenez clearly was not happy when the crowd who were cheering when the pony-tailed Spaniard bogeyed his 15th and 17th holes.
And Jimenez after the trophy had been handed to Luiten the European Tour’s oldest winner was critical of local Dutch TV personnel moving about as he played his shots.
“I have been playing very well and very solid lately but there can be only one winner so I congratulate him,” said Jimenez.
“It was again a tough day but I am just happy to be there and be in contention again and I hope to win next time.
“I have to say one thing that was the spectators were excellent but there was too many cameras and the people with the official cameras seemed to the worst.”
