Angel Wins US Open

Angel Cabrera of Argentina won the US Open on Sunday, beating Tiger Woods and Jim Furyk by a single stroke. Congrats Angel!

He's looking pretty relaxed with the trophy, but earlier he was stressin'. Bob Verdi of Golf World nailed it when he said Cabrera could make coffee nervous. Here's Angel in the home stretch:

The US Open is put on by the USGA (as opposed to the PGA) and is known for its brutal setups. For the second year in a row, the winning score was five over par. If that doesn't mean anything to you, check out this picture of one of Oakmont's "church pew" bunkers. Those are golfers out there, not ants.
