Here’s the proof from ESPN’s Dan Washburn, “Lefty’s win, appeal draw in Chinese”:

• [G]olf fans in China are in awe of Woods — but they adore Mickelson.

• The [Nanfang Daily] described Woods’ demeanor at his Wednesday press conference as “grave,” and said his face was “overclouded.” Meanwhile, Mickelson was “smiling,” “honest” and “sincere.” Mickelson, the paper wrote, was one of the “most popular stars” at Sheshan because “he doesn’t put up fences” — he’ll sign autographs for a half-hour after a round.

• When he hits a good shot he rewards fans’ applause by smiling or tipping his cap. When he goes through the crowd, if you put out your hand he’ll even give a ‘high-five.’

And here’s my best attempt to translate “FIGJAM” in Chinese: Gaan, Wuh Hun Hao, Ni Kuh Ee Whun Wuh.
