THEY DON’T COME much more lovable than Miguel Angel Jimenez. It’s the whole package – the hair, the cigars, the girth.
Out on the course, he always seems to enjoy himself. In a sport dominated by the bland, he’s a relentless breath of fresh air. But even when he’s not strolling through the fairways, he’s still providing entertainment.
As this photograph, taken before he played his first round at The Open (he’s in a three-man group alongside John Daly – what could possibly go wrong?), shows.
Jimenez is pretty unique when it comes to his exercise protocol. He’s lit up many a course with his rather special conditioning techniques down through the years, especially at The Open.
