It took several days, but we have a 'gotcha' for the instantly famous golf spectator spotted a week ago wearing a fake mustache and chomping on a cigar at the Ryder Cup tournament.

The man, according to U.K. newspaper the Mail on Sunday is a London investment analyst named Rupesh Shingadia. His firm was identified elsewhere as Threadneedle Asset Management.

To recap: Shingadia was caught by photos at the Ryder Cup golf tournament in Wales, where the 30-year-old showed up with a Grucho-style mustache and cigar, and wearing an off-kilter reddish (maroon, really) wig. Shingadia's image zoomed around the Web in the background of an amazing photo of Tiger Woods whacking a golf ball directly at the camera lens.

There are thousands of Facebook fans for Cigar Guy. His image has been Photoshopped into dozens of iconic images from Martin Luther King Jr.'s 'I Have a Dream Speech' to the opening montage of 'The Simpsons' television series. A blog even offered $1,000 to unmask the formerlyanonymous 'Cigar Guy.'

Shingadia told the Mail on Sunday that he dressed up in a tribute Miguel Angel Jimenez, a bon-vivant Spanish golfer known for trotting on the greens puffing a stogie. Shingadia said he is just an ordinary bloke, a fan of the Arsenal soccer team who lives with his parents. And now he is basking in his 15 minutes of cigar-clouded fame.
