This is just a personal rant as I cannot be bothered to register on any other website, and this is as good a place as any, just to say that:
Why, oh why, can't TV commentators and presenters learn how to pronounce his surname correctly ??!!

Just had to google the name as I don't follow golf, I would not have a clue how to pronounce that name ;D but those who do present sports programs really should do their homework and ensure they pronounce the names correctly.

Those Latin names are particularly tough, along with their Slavic counterparts... I've heard Jimenez pronounced in so many different ways, though, it's no surprise Stewart would single out Big Mig's name. Him-ay-neth I believe is the phonetic for it, not Jim-i-nezzz On an unrelated note, I love the fact that if you want 'Jo - 11' on your Everton shirt at the moment it will cost you £12, the same cost as 'Bilyaletdinov - 7'. I know which one I'd prefer ;D |

Him-e-nez I believe, not difficult really, you just replace the J with an H, typically Hyspanic! It`s that Irish blokes name I struggle with, Mr Harrington first name is spelt nothing like it`s pronounced, Boldrick or something it sounds like yet it`s spelled Padriag or something, how the hell does that work?
