A tip of the hat goes to Angel Cabrera for winning the 2007 U.S. Open.
What a brutal tournament!
Shooting a 69 with all the pressure on was quite a accomplishment for Cabrera. Cabrera might not have been the winner anyone expected, especially at Oakmont, which has produced U.S. Open champions of the highest caliber. But he earned his victory against the best. After shooting 76 Saturday coming back with a 69 was simply amazing. Having quality golfers such as Woods and Furyk nipping at his heels all day kept the pressure on for sure and really it came down to the last holes before all was said and done.
It was one of the better US OPens that I can remember, mostly because someone won it—as opposed to people losing it. Certainly better than Shinnecock or last year’s 18th hole fiasco.
