The Daily Mail, whose remarkable photo of Tiger Woods’ golf ball milliseconds before it smashed into a photographer’s camera at the Ryder Cup last week made a mustached, cigar-chomping guy a worldwide star, did some admirable sleuthwork and tracked the man down: His name is Rupesh Shingadia, and he is a 30-year-old investment analyst in London.
