Miguel Angel Jimenez holes out for eagle, sheaths his sword

Cheer up, Spain!

The Nethlerlands just got done whopping Spain in the World Cup, but take heart Spanish fans, one of your heroes is providing the afternoon entertainment at the U.S. Open. Miguel Angel Jimenez, the most interesting man in golf, pulled off an impressive hole-out eagle from a Pinehurst sand trap. The shot was great, but we all edged up to see how he would commemorate and celebrate this fine turn of events. He opted to go with a Chi-Chi Rodriguez move, sheathing his weapon for the adoring crowd.

It was less than a week out that the Mechanic celebrated a hole-out eagle by dancing in the fairway over in Austria, and this was a suitable encore.

He’s also currently at 3-over, two shots inside the cut line thanks to that eagle so we should have more time to enjoy golf’s greatest performer on the weekend. And I’m sure the Spanish supporters can take solace in that.
