Cabrera Comes Through

Hello. Congrats to Angel Cabrera for winning the US Open. There was no doubt that Cabrera was the best player Sunday. His 69 could have easily been 67. It was a clutch performance from a guy who was really pumped. Did you see him go through water, cigarettes and grimaces? He was going at 100 rpm, yet hung together to take it.
Cabrera's win was very similar to Zach Johnson's Masters win, and Geoff Ogilvy's 2006 US Open win - all three had guys from a few groups behind play good steady golf with moments of brillance to overtake the leaders.
Angel's irons into 11 and 15 were just tremendous. I thought he'd eagled 15. And his drive on 18 after two straight bogies was clutch.
Who is really smiling today, besides Angel? The European Tour, which I think now deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as the PGA. Having a European Tour regular win the US Open is a big deal for that tour. Well done!
So who are shaking their heads today? Several, who I will deal with the rest of this week.

Regards,
Steve
