Okay, maybe Shane Lowry is still number one.
But Andrew 'Beef' Johnston has rapidly ascended the 'Balls.ie List Of Our Favourite Golfers' with a fantastic interview after winning the Spanish Open. Johnston is from Barnet in England, and his reaction to holding off the challenge of Sergio Garcia at the tournament the Spaniard hosted was gloriously natural. Watch below:

Fantastic. 'Beef' is also probably the best nickname on the tour. Johnston's success is also indicative of the changing face of golf. The game that was once the bastion of the wealthy American male is becoming increasingly dominated by Europe, with back-to-back Ryder Cup victories for Europe preceding Danny Willett's victory at Augusta.
Johnston won the tournament despite shooting +1 for the tournament, finishing a shot ahead of Holland's Joost Luiten and two strokes ahead of Garcia.
His exuberance has manifested itself on the course in the past, see this great celebration to a hole in one:

His twitter account is definitely worth a follow, here is a sample:

Perhaps Johnston can build on the success and make it to the Europan Ryder Cup team. Should he do that, it would do wonders for the morale of the entire European team, pints with Shane Lowry and Johnston sounds like a hell of a lot of fun.
