Back in April, I predicted that Angel Cabrera could win the Masters. That was just about the kiss of death, because Angel finished 37th, his worst finish ever at Augusta (besides three missed cuts). So this time around, for the U.S. Open, I made no predictions at all.
It was fun just watching things unfold. Angel Cabrera, an Argentinian from a very poor childhood, is good for golf. Anyone who can can drive the ball 397 yards into tight fairways deserves to win (OK, technically, the ball rolled off the fairway into the primary cut, but close enough). He played courageously, attacking the fairways and pins. And he played better than Tiger Woods on Sunday. What a win for Angel!
