The 2007 U.S. Open Golf Championship Official Highlights: Touched By An Angel DVD

Few if any of the competitors at the 2007 U.S. Open would say it was a trip to heaven. But late on a Sunday afternoon the venerable western Pennsylvania venue which had befuddled and exasperated the world's best golfer was touched by an Angel. That's Angel Cabrera the first South American to ever get his name engraved on the U.S. Open trophy. The 37-year-old from Cordoba Argentina who took up the game at 15 at the urging of fellow countryman Eduardo Romero managed to not only survive the 7 230-yard par-70 layout but also fended off two of the world's best players to... register a one-stroke victory. Cabrera's final-round 69 was good enough to hold off World No. 1 Tiger Woods and No. 3 ranked Jim Furyk. His second 1- under round of the championship - he opened with 69 on Thursday - gave him a 72-hole total of 5-over 285 the same winning score Australia's Geoff Ogilvy posted a year ago at Winged Foot. It's also the first time Cabrera a three-time champion on the European Tour has ever won in the U.S. and he was the third consecutive U.S. Open champion who hails from a country south of the Equator. Featuring all the greatest moments of the four days of competition the Official Highlights of The 2007 U.S. Open is a wonderful record of a memorable tournament. [show more]
