Stemming off pressure from Tiger Woods and Jim Furyk, Argentine Angel Cabrera won the U.S. Open by a stroke at Oakmont today. He shot a 1-under 69 on Sunday, and led the tournament after 36 holes. Woods has never won a major tournament without at least a share of the lead after three rounds. Woods played really well, but seemingly couldn't make a putt outside of around 12 feet in the entire tournament. He didn't make a birdie in his last round and a half.
Aaron Baddeley, the leader after 54 holes by two strokes at +2, shot an awful 10-over par 80 to fall out of contention playing with Woods in the final pairing on Sunday. Cabrera hit a fantastic second shot on the fifteenth hole, leaving it within 10 feet from the hole. Woods and Furyk finished at +6, one shot behind Angel. When asked whether he or San Antonio Spurs player Manu Ginobili was the bigger star in Argentina, Cabrera answered "Ginobili" without hesitation.
