Angel Cabrera gave Argentina its first major championship in 40 years after holding off Tiger Woods and Jim Furyk by a stroke to claim the U.S. Open on Sunday.
Cabrera shot an impressive 1-under-par 69 at the notoriously difficult Oakmont course.
Woods was in the running for the second straight year, but botched crucial birdie chances with his wedge and his putter.
Furyk bogeyed the 17th hole to fall out of the lead.
“He put a lot of pressure on Jim and I, and we didn’t get it done,” a dejected Woods said.
