2007 US Open at Oakmont

Congratulations to the big Argentinian Angel Cabrera for taking out the 2007 US Open at Oakmont. I've enjoyed watching him play over the last four days and was very glad to see him hold off Tiger. Even though the scores were high I thought this years US Open was very entertaining.

Not only are the last four winners foreigners but all from the southern hemisphere. Retief Goosen - South Africa, Michael Campbell - New Zealand, Geoff Ogilvy - Australia and of course Angel Cabrera - Argentina.

Aaron Baddeley's performance was disappointing. I predicted he would have a disaster hole but a triple bogey on the opening hole was not a good way to start the final round. Badd's did hit some good shots in his final round but his putting which is usually his strength really let him down in a big way. However as they say it's a learning experience and I'm sure he will feature in more majors over the next few years.

Badd's performance wasn't good but the worst shot has to go to Jim Furyk on the 17th hole. What was Furyk thinking?! Tied for the lead with a couple of holes remaining and he tries to drive the hole - simply crazy! Perhaps a play you might have tried if you needed a couple birdies over the last two holes, but when you're tied with the lead at Oakmont? I would have thought he would have been more than happy to par the final two holes and set the club house lead at plus 5.
