GORE WINS, LOSES U.S. OPEN


PITTSBURGH -- After playing the round of his life and clinching an apparent victory in the US Open, former vice president Al Gore again had victory snatched from his grasp. While Gore and his caddy celebrated in the clubhouse the USGA conducted an unprecedented recount, administrated by eventual winner Angel Cabrera's brother, Desi.

The hotly contested recount found Cabrera was the winner by one stroke because a score was entered incorrectly on the peculiar butterfly scorecard used at Oakmont.
