Moments In Time - Bad Tiger, the Brave Cameraman & the Birth of "Cigar Guy"
The magic moment during the Ryder Cup when a fluffed Tiger shot flew right into the trajectory of the lens of a Daily Mail photographer Mark Pain (ironic!), who managed to capture this sublime shot before being whacked!
Some are describing the photograph as one of the best sports pictures ever taken!
The world No 1 was playing with Steve Stricker against Europe's Ian Poulter and Ross Fisher in the Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor in south Wales.
As he went to take his shot, Mark Pain captured the extraordinary image just before Woods' ball hit him right in the chest! ... Owwwwww!!!
Woods was said to be furious about his blunder but neither he nor caddie Steve Williams objected to Pain's position.
Wondrous enough you might think. But there's more! ... Yap, the shot has propelled the unknown would-be guru on the right of the shot - a happy asian Groucho Marx reincarnate in a turban, eyebrows raised, puffing a massive Cuban cigar! - into internet stardom!
Hey presto, "Cigar Guy" is born!
Memes of the guy have been appearing all over the place!
He's even met the Beatles!!
... and Bob Dylan!!
