Tiger doesn't win

For the fourth U.S. Open in a row, some on from south of the equator took home the top prize; this year, it was Angel Cabrera of Argentina. Cabrera captured the title by firing off a fourth-round 69, which was good enough to hold off Tiger Woods and Jim Furyk by a stroke. Woods had an opportunity to send the final into a playoff on the 18th hole but was unable to sink his putt.

This tournament was exactly how a major should be held. Play it on an extremely tough course (Cabrera finished five over par) and have Tiger near, or at the top so people are talking about your sports' most recognizable figure. It's just a shame the Phil Mickelson had to chump out and complain about how he didn't want break his wrist in the tough rough at Oakmont.

Yes, you can get injured playing golf

Yesterday at the Honda Classic, everybody’s favourite recovering alcoholic golfer, John Daly, was injured after a camera went off during his swing. Daly apparently pulled a muscle in his ribs as well as his shoulder when he was distracted by the click of a camera. He had to withdraw from the tournament and the extent of the injury is unknown. No word yet as to whether the camera stole his soul as well.
