If the memory of Miguel Angel Jimenez lasts for one thousand years, as it surely will, then this article may well rank as the definitive portrait of the man.
Written by Golf.com's Alan Shipnuck, the article opened with the author's futile attempt to interest Miguel in a glass of water.
My friend, water is for fish.
This early exchange was the spark for Miguel to elaborate on his love of the good life and he was rather forthright in his defence of his lifestyle.

The article finished with an ode to a life lived well. This does not sound like a man who angsts over whether he's going to win a Major.
I am here with the sun shining, I'm surrounded by friends and family, tonight I will eat good food, drink good wine, smoke a good cigar and make love to my beautiful wife. It's a good life, no?
