Congratulations to Angel Cabrera

[cougar978]

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.

Buenísima Pato! Is good to see a "Latino" in the winners circle!

Greetings!

[Comeback City]

Congrats to him. He's a turtle of a man. And by that I mean he looks like a turtle contrary to his rather quick pace of play.

[Shindig]

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.

[MI Rob]

Watching Angel play his third round yesterday, I had a great feeling about him winning it all today. Congrats.

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!

[mcfc_nick]

im so happy angel won! this guy was abandoned by his parents when he was three years old and now he is a double major winner! terrific!

[MSDOGS1976]

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?

[AlCzervik]

Well done, Angel. I'm pissed that people in the facebook group are pissed that he won.

[beachbreak]

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.

[Trav]

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.

The tailor must have had a field day preparing your jacket Angel! Hats off to you!

[Three Putt]

1. He isn't afraid to win
2. He never gave up.

Congrats!

Congratulations Angel from Argentina!!!
Felicitaciones Angel desde Argentina!!!

Congratulations Angel from Argentina!!!

Andale! Tu si que debes estar bien feliz, yo no soy Argentino pero me da muchísimo gusto ver que Cabrera gana los grandes!

[You should be really happy, I'm not Argentinian, but I feel a lot of joy watching Cabrera winning the big ones!] Greetings!

I agree. That was enjoyable.

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...

[HSip]

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!
