2. ANGEL CABRERA

WORLD RANK 18th

Angel's nickname is
the Duck, but I think of
him as the Gorilla. He's
stocky and has this freaky strength
because he doesn't look as if he's
swinging hard, but his shots
go eight miles. It's neat to
watch — unless you're trying
to beat him... Angel doesn't
get much attention because he's
a quiet guy from Argentina who
won't speak English. If he were an American, he'd be a household
name... This man was no fl uke winner at the Open. He had
come close before in majors, notably last year at Royal Liverpool,
and has put up some good rounds in Augusta... At Oakmont,
I loved it when he hit that shot close at 15 and his reaction was,
"Oh, man, I think I just won the Open!"

LAST SHOT Don't try for me, Argentina, but back-to-back
Open titles, while unlikely, is possible.
