Angel Cabrera Edges Tiger, Wins U.S. Open
It’s not unusual for PGA players to cringe going into a Sunday with Tiger Woods not far off the lead. For Angel Cabrera, the distance between cringing and crumbling was as long as the rough at Oakmont.
Cabrera managed to stay one shot ahead of Tiger Woods to win the 107th U.S. Open, becoming only the second Argentinian since Roberto De Vincenzo to do so. A 16 time winner on the international circuit, Cabrera came into the Open with six top-ten finishes in PGA majors, and having never missed the cut at Oakmont.
It was a great week for Argentina, with Cabrera capturing the U.S. Open, and Manu Ginobili playing a major role in the San Antonio Spurs collecting their fourth NBA championship. The news couldn’t be sweeter for some Argentine government officials, as rumors are circulating about planned protests to disrupt the country’s hosting of the Copa America International Soccer Tournament.
