Is the Glass Half Full or Half Empty...ask Angel Cabrera?

During the play off with Kenny Perry and Chad Cambell in the recent US Masters golf championship Angel Cabrera hit his drive on the 18th Hole, par 4 at Augusta into the woods. He hits out onto the fairway and from there hit 3 onto the green. He duly made the putt and with Kenny Perry making bogey Angel Cabrera was the first Argentinian to have won the US Masters. It was a remarkable win and he received a heroe's welcome in his hometown in Argentina.

After his win the press interviewed Cabrera about his drive into the woods at hole 18 and asked how he managed to get back into fairway when it appeared impossible. Cabrera responded that he had about 1 foot (by showing the reporter the gap with his hand) in between 2 trees and had a go nevertheless as the gap was certainly bigger than his golf ball.

( To non golfer to hit out from a 1 foot gap between trees in US Masters is like asking David Beckham to score in a world cup match from standard free kick into a goal half the normal goal span and with Petr Chech in-between the post)

Cabrera definitely saw a half full glass instead of half empty. The next time we are in a spot see it as "half full" and not "half empty".
