Cabrera edges Tiger for US Open title

---

OAKMONT, Pennsylvania. Jun 19 (AP): The only thing Angel Cabrera couldn't conquer at this US Open was Oakmont. Cabrera hit all the right shots at the right time Sunday, none bigger than a booming tee shot down the middle of the 18th fairway that stopped a late slide, allowed him to post a 1-under 69 and forced Tiger Woods and Jim Furyk to catch him.
For the second straight major, Woods couldn't buy a birdie. For the second straight US Open, Furyk couldn't make a par.
Cabrera became the first Argentine in 40 years to win a major, powering his way to a pair of birdies on the back nine that turned into a one-shot victory over two of the best players in the world.
"It is very difficult to describe this moment," Cabrera said. "Probably tomorrow, when I wake up with this trophy beside me, I will realise I won the US Open."
He is not the player anyone expected to take down Woods.
But neither was Zach Johnson at the Masters.
Cabrera wore a smile to hide his nerves as he sat in the clubhouse and watched Furyk fall out of a share of the lead on the 17th hole by trying to drive the green 306 yards away. The shot went into deep rough left of the green, his flop shot came up short and his 8-foot par putt swirled around the lip.
That left only Woods, who needed a birdie over his final three holes to force a playoff.
