Jimenez!

Maybe we all need to take more red wine and a fat cigar or three! Could be Miguel's secret formula for the over 50s

well done Jimenez
 
Great result for one of the most popular players on tour!

Specially in his 'home' Open!

Hope the form continues at the PGA.

Must be his fabulous warm-up routine! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGiGEDnU6Tg

out of interest and a serious question, why do people think he is one of the most popular on tour? his interviews? cause he smokes and drinks? cause he has a tummy like average golfers? his interactions with the gallery? cause he isn't controversial and keeps very much to himself? or are there other reasons?
I firmly know my opinion, just interested in others?

I think, a lot of people identify with him, due to looks and behaviour.

But then you see his success which is impressive considering he is different to the vast majority if tour players
 
He may be a top superstar golfer but he looks like just another roll up Sunday golfer. He isn't of course, he is one of the top golfers on tour, but, unlike the super fit white teeth muscle men on tour these days you just get the feeling you could crack a bottle of Rioja with him and spend a really good evening in his company. Probably nothing could be further from the truth but he looks like that kind of guy.
 
Is he refered to as popular with golf fans or fellow pro's?

I have no idea what the others on tour think of him. For me I like the warm up routine, the smoking and drinking. It's a nice change from the other athletes on tour.

Because its known that he is just an overall nice guy and very friendly towards fellow pros and spectators alike.
 
Agree, he seems very friendly, and like other spanish golfers he says it how it is, but doesnt take himself too seriously. I have no idea how more people aren't like him on tour. They are playing a game they love, for money! publicity is key and this guy does it perfectly!
 
I was there today at the Open d'Espania, and followed Miguel from 13 through to the playoff hole, so pleased he finally got his home Championship (and he was my star player :D )
