A golf fan who appeared in a remarkable photo taken by a Mail photographer has become an internet sensation after appearing on Mail Online.The man is pictured flamboyantly wearing a ginger-coloured wig, fake moustache and chomping on a large cigar, in tribute to iconic Spanish golfer Miguel Angel Jimenez.
The incredible photo, which was taken by Mail on Sunday sports photographer Mark Pain, showed the ball heading at high speed straight towards the camera after world golf No 1 Tiger Woods misjudged a shot at the Ryder Cup on Saturday.
Woods was partnering Steve Stricker and attempting to chip his third shot on the final hole during a four-ball match against Europe's Ian Poulter and Ross Fisher on to the green in Wales. But Woods hit the ground behind the ball and duffed the shot straight at Pain.
The man from the Mail didn't flinch, however, and captured an extraordinary picture just before the ball hit his camera, bounced on to his chest and came to rest at his feet.
But rather than Woods himself being the focus of the photograph, the spectator has become the focus of hundred of viral emails posted on websites around the world.
