Another great win for El Pato - I really like the fact that a guy that came from virtually nothing can go out and beat a lot of pros that came up with a silver spoon in their mouths their entire lives. Outstanding job at hanging in there and getting the job done.

Great to see a quick player do well. Thoughts on his chances for a career slam? That is, chances he may someday pick up the British Open and the PGA? Two top tens in the British, along with plenty of missed cuts. Performance in the PGA has been nothing to write home about.

After witnessing Perry's shot on 16, his bogies on 17 and 18, Cabrera's first two shots on the first playoff hole, I suppose one lesson we can take from this is to not give up, keep grinding it out and success may come our way: not a bad lesson in golf and in life. Congratulations Senor Cabrera!

I didn't think about it at the time, but did Cabrera not have the same caddy he had when he won the US Open? You know, the guy that competed on TGC's Big Break? I wonder what happened to him?

I really like how he plays loose, makes a decision, and pulls the trigger quickly. I enjoy watching this type of player more than the robotic ones. He reminds me alot of Lee Trevino in this respect.

I'm down to a 10 handicap. At this rate, I'll get to scratch at 90 years old!

I agree with Beachbreak. And anybody who salutes his main competitor for making what appeared at the time to be the tournament clinching shot (Perry tee shot on 16), apparently ending his own chances, deserves our applause and respect. Not to mention the way he handled himself when he hit behind the tree on 18, thus also apparently ending his chances.

Players who have won at least two majors since 2000:

1. Tiger (12 wins)
2. Phil (3 wins)
3. Paddycakes (3 wins)
4. The Goose (2 wins)
5. The Big Fijian (2 wins)
6. El Pato (2 wins)

Way to go, Angel. I'll eschew the obligatory Andy North joke because you're way better than he ever was...

After his tee shot and second shot on the 1st playoff hole it did not look good but he hung in there for par. Good lesson to not give up and great win!

      How to Remove Verdigris From Black Burner 2.0 Irons....

      By Archie Bunker ·

      You might want to try a can of Bar Keepers Friend. Yes, it is abrasive, so just wet a sponge and dab it on. It has oxalic acid (no bleach like "Comet" kitchen cleanser), and it works wonders on stainless steel and other metals. Try it on a small area first to see what happens.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By 4zim ·

      Fair   My uneducated thought: the big miss is the penalty area. If you want to optimize score, missing into the bunker (likely 5) is better than missing right into the penalty (possible 6). With that, your strategy seems sound and if you hit a committed shot, you get a bunker 5% of the time, take your medicine and hopefully get a putt for par but accept bogey. You may find yourself in a penalty situation 2-3% of the time and accept the associated outcome. The vast majority of the time though you are giving yourself a good approach shot into the green.

      How Much do You Exercise?

      By Elmer ·

      I walk 30 mins a day on my lunch break. It is not very intense (since i dont want to get sweaty in my work clothes), so just a touch above leisurely. 3 days a week I walk on the treadmill for 60 mins. I alternate the incline from 4 to 10 for a couple minutes, once every ten minutes. I lift my kettlebells nearly everyday. I have a couple complex routines. I find just 15 minutes and my heart rates is elevated
