He was quoted by the Daily Record as saying: "I really want to play in the Ryder Cup because this year is probably my last chance at my age."
Jiminez had made a promising start at the French Open but lost his advantage after striking into a water hazard while trying to locate the green.
But he regained his lead and was later celebrating victory with champagne.
The golfer put his success down to his experience.
In related news, the Express has reported Rory McIlroy's determination to play well at the Open.
The paper recalled his performances at the Masters and US Open, which had not been satisfactory.
McIlroy told the publication that he was optimistic about his chances and hoped to maintain his current standards.
