El Pato was the only player to shoot under par twice...well-deserved win. Tiger had his chance for a playoff out of the bunker on 17 and overshot it but, boy, did he ever make some clutch putts coming down the stretch. Cabrera's approach on 15 must have rattled him a little...followed the birdie there with bogies on 16 and 17 but what a drive on 18...wow. Furyk made a nice run as well but made a questionable decision to hit driver on 17 which cost him.
Big kudos to Angel "El Pato" Cabrera...the first Argentine major winner since DeVincenzo won the British Open in '67.
-- "Thanks thanks! I am the best now! Better than Tiger. Better than all here. Now where is my money? Haha!"
I don't think Cabrera fits this racial stereotype. USA Today quotes him as saying "I never thought this was possible. I had a lot of bad moments on the golf course in my life, and now I am taking it more easy out there. I have fun. But it was not easy out there." And also "I was able to beat the best player and the best players here, but I wasn't able to beat the golf course. The golf course beat me."

Whoa... not any stereotyping here ... that was not my intention! It was a pleasure to watch Cabrera beat the field.... and Tiger. Cabrera was theman yesterday. He stepped up and showed he can play with the greatest of them all. And, all was said before his interview. Hope I cleared that up!
