Miguel Angel Jimenez will not forget the year 2014. Known as the
most interesting golfer in the world because of his giant cigars, his pony tail
and goatee, and his outlandishly hilarious stretching technique. Jimenez is
having one great year with being in contention in The Master's, then the next
week winning his first Champions Tour event, and now winning Open De EspaƱa on
the European Tour in his home country of Spain. Oh, and not to mention he
turned 50 this year.
Jimenez has always been a well-recognized
golfer due to his character, but this year he is finally making a name for
himself for his golf game, and not the person who comes with it. He has been
playing well all year, and ever since The Master's, his name seems to be
everywhere. The professional tours need more guys like Jimenez because they
tend to be much more pleasing to the crowds, and you never know what they will
do next. Unlike the players who get mad and throw clubs and cuss, the ones like
Jimenez seem to be much nicer to the gallery, and put on a smile no matter
what. These are the players who make golf seem like a game, and not a job.
Sometimes all of us, not just fans, but the players too, need to be reminded
that golf is just a game.
Miguel seems to have found his game even
late in his career, this should inspire some of the other players who seem to
have lost it as they are approaching 50. Miguel not only puts a smile on people’s
faces, but he impresses them as well. We will always root for the most
interesting golfer in the world.
