Today’s Forum Thread of the Day comes from golfnhack, who discusses the current struggles of former U.S. Open and Masters champion, Angel Cabrera. As golfnhack points out in the opening post of the thread, the Argentine is currently competing on the Web.com Tour where he shot rounds of 79 and 80 last week. Our members share their thoughts on Cabrera’s current form, while also reminiscing about their experience following “El Pato” up close during a round, and his past accomplishments in the game.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- Holy Moses: “Age. Is going to be a Hall of Famer most likely. Doesn’t have time to practice like he used to?”
- dpb5031: “I hope he gets his game back as he’s one of my favorites to watch. He plays quickly and seems to fully release every shot…no holding on whatsoever. His US Open win at Oakmont may have been the finest combination of power and accuracy with driver ever exhibited in a major championship.”
- scotee: “I was privileged to see him play in person at the Open in Chambers Bay. You could pick him out from a mile away from the way he would stride up the fairway. So much natural talent and like others have said he did not make anyone wait to take his shot. One of the fun guys to watch for sure! I hope he does play often on the Senior Tour.”
- Walter Sobchak: “El Pato is one that can go off the radar then show up and win Augusta on a hot week. Course fits him, and I would assume it is his motivational peak for the year. Hope he pops up on the leaderboard in April!”
- BearQ: “His iron shot into 18 to force OT in the rain Masters ‘13 was one of best under pressure all time.”
