U.S. Open Trilogy - Special Collectors Edition DVD Gift Set (2008 U.S. Open Highlights/2007 U.S. Open Highlights/Greatest Moments of the U.S. Open) DVD

This Special Collector's Edition DVD Gift Set includes: 2008 U.S. Open Golf Championship Official Highlights The 2008 and 108th U.S. Open took place at Torrey Pines Golf Course San Diego California from 12-16th June 2008. It was to become the most dramatic US Open ever with the latest installment of the Tiger Woods Shock-And-Awe Golf Show. After completing 90 holes over 5 days both players were still tied. The championship reached a sudden death playoff for just the third time because of Woods bothered by an aching left knee all week and the dogged desire of Rocco... Mediate the No. 157th-ranked player in the world to not quit believing he deserved to be in this position. I think this is probably the best ever said Woods ranking this his 14th professional major ahead of his 1997 Masters and 2000 U.S. Open wins. The hyberbole doesn't end there. The victory moved Woods ahead of Jack Nicklaus and JoAnne Gunderson and into a tie with Bob Jones for the most USGA titles ever won. Jones and Woods both have nine. The U.S. Open is the second oldest USGA Championship by a single day and is the jewel of the USGA competition. The event has evolved into one of the most prestigious championships and is played by the world's best players. 2007 U.S. Open Golf Championship Official Highlights 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. Greatest Moments of the U.S. Open The U.S. Open is probably the single most important event in golf. This programme presents an overall chronological view of the drama and excitement that has occurred over the years as the greatest names in Men's golf have competed to hoist the Championship trophy. Beginning in 1960 with Arnold Palmer Greatest Moments features all the great champions including Nicklaus Player Miller Watson Woods and many more. [show more]
