Overview

  • Angel Cabrera secured his second senior major victory in just six days, winning the Senior PGA Championship with a final-round 3-under 69.
  • Cabrera rallied from two strokes behind Padraig Harrington, capitalizing on Harrington's double bogey on the 15th hole and bogey on the 18th to claim a one-stroke win.
  • This victory follows Cabrera's triumph at the Regions Tradition earlier in the week, his first senior major title.
  • The Argentine golfer's comeback has drawn both praise for his performance and criticism due to his past convictions for domestic violence, for which he served 20 months in prison.
  • Released on parole in August 2023, Cabrera has since been reinstated to the PGA Tour Champions and has expressed remorse for his actions.
