The 2007 United States Open Championship was the 107th U.S. Open, held June 14–17 at Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pennsylvania, a suburb northeast of Pittsburgh.[1]
Ángel Cabrera won his first major championship, one stroke ahead of runners-up Jim Furyk and Tiger Woods, who were unable to birdie the 72nd hole to force a Monday playoff.[2] Cabrera's victory marked the first U.S. Open won by an Argentine or a South American.[3][4] It was the first of his two major titles; he won the Masters in a playoff in 2009.
This was the eighth U.S. Open and eleventh professional major held at Oakmont.[5]
