Ángel Cabrera signed another historical performance in the PGA Champions Tourthe circuit for players older than 50 years of golf. The Cordoba was crowned in the Senior PGA Championshipthe second major of the season that was played in Bethesda, Maryland, when completing this Sunday the fourth round with 69 blows (three under the pair of the court) and ending with a 280 card (-8), an impact less than the Danish Thomas Bjorn and the Irish Padraig Harrington. Thus, he achieved his second “large” trophy as veteran, just six days after having raised the first, in the Regions Tradition which was played in Birmingham and ended last Monday due to rain delay. It was a new joy for him Patowhich is taking full advantage of the second opportunity that the sport gave him in his return to the competition, after spending 32 months imprisoned between January 2021 and August 2023, fulfilling a sentence for gender violence.
“I am extremely happy to win two tournaments in a row, and three in total this season. I am very happy, especially after everything that I have happened in recent years,” the 55 -year -old Cordoba celebrated, which was imposed on three of the last five calendar appointments.
Is that at the beginning of April he had won the James Hardie Pro Football Hall of Fame Invitationalin Boca Mouse, where he inaugurated his personal record on the senior tour.
The celebration in the Maryland field, the same, had a sweeter taste than those previous two. Because in addition to the 540 thousand dollars bag (which took the total of its profits in a week to about 1,300,000), the Cordoba also took a special prize: the classification for the 2026 edition of the PGA Championshipone of the four most important events in the world of golf. And allowed him to climb the second step of the ranking he classifies for the Charles Schwab Cup Moneythe season -end event similar to the FedEx Cup of the PGA Tour.
Cabrera arrived at the last day as one of the four leaders, a position he shared after Saturday’s round with the South African Retief Goosenthe American Jason Caron and English Phillip Archer. But he added two Bogeys and a Birdie in the first five holes, got off the tip and had to fight her from behind. Because on top of Harrington, who had left for him a while before him, he was -3 in the round after completing the sixth and had gotten into everything in the fight for first place.

Tireless, the Pato He settled back in the table with an eagle in the five -year -old hole and a new Birdie was scored in the eighth to be tied at the top with the Irishman. And he took over the first position after completing the 15th with another Birdie, also taking advantage that Harrington had added a double bogey in that flag.
“All my life I had a problem with trust and arrogance. The Tee of 15 was such a simple exit blow, but I panicked and hit a great hook,” Harrington said. “When I was in Hole 11 I saw that Padraig had made a double bogey, so I thought, this is my chance,” Cabrera said.
The Argentine arrived at the last hole with the almost insured title. He had to recover the ball after throwing it into an area of high pastures and then mistaken for torque. But he managed to close it with a Bogey, who sealed his new consecration.
The Cabrera celebration takes on the further dimension when reviewing the palmraés of some of its rivals. Cordoba himself had already said on Saturday: “The people who are up there are people who have a lot of experience. Most of them have been in many majors and that shows.”
Just as he knew how to conquer two “great, the US Open 2007 and the AUGUSTA 2009 MASSERSalso several of their new colleagues won in that category before reaching the veterans circuit. Harrington, 53, for example, was champion of the British open In 2007 and 2008 and PGA Championship That last year. Goosen, 56 and who was fourth yesterday, won the US Open of 2001 and 2004. The Fijiano Vijay singh62 and who was eighth, conquered the Masters of 2000 and the PGA Championship in 1998 and 2004. The American Stewart zinc (52), another that ended in fourth position, won the British major in 2009; The Norirendés Darren Clarke (56), which ended 11, in that same “great” in 2011; and Justin Leonard (52 and also from the United States), which was 14, celebrated in 1997.
