US Open 2007

It would not be a photo gallery without a picture of golf's number one fashionista - Ian "in the pink" Poulter

No such fripperies for Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell, but the Portrush man played some smart golf this week

As did Nick Dougherty, and he was at it again on Sunday - back-to-back birdies from the 4th keeping him on track

Paul Casey was the star of the show on Friday and the Englishman turned up on Sunday in a relaxed mood

Justin Rose, the third Englishman flying high on the leaderboard, looked determined to open his major account

But between Rose and success was Aaron Baddeley, bidding to retain the US Open for Australia

But the US-born Aussie made a disastrous start to his fourth round and his two-shot lead was soon gone

His playing partner Tiger Woods looked the most likely to assume command but even he struggled at Oakmont

And while others went backwards, Jim Furyk was plotting his way around with customary efficiency

Canada's Stephen Ames was one of those players in reverse - a triple at seven and a double at nine sunk his hopes

And as the pressure grew the wheels came off Casey's challenge - missed putts early on seemed to unnerve him

Rose was also struggling on the greens and it was not long before his hopes of a first major title vanished

But one man's "first major" dreams were well and truly alive - Angel Cabrera smashed his way into the lead

Only trouble was, Woods wasn't going to give up and it became a three-way scrap as Furyk battled on

Cabrera set the target at five over and watched as Furyk and then Woods failed to make birdies on the last to catch him

And South America had its first major winner since Argentine Roberto de Vicenzo won the Open at Hoylake in 1967
