Cabrera Clinches Senior PGA Championship Amid Dramatic Turnaround

Angel Cabrera claimed the Senior PGA Championship title at Congressional, overcoming a two-stroke deficit to secure a one-shot victory over Padraig Harrington. Cabrera's success is noteworthy, considering he recently served 20 months in an Argentine prison and faced immense personal challenges.

The tournament saw a dramatic turn of events as Harrington, initially in a strong position, stumbled with a double bogey on the 15th hole. Cabrera seized the opportunity, maintaining a steady performance with a 3-under 69, which propelled him to his second senior major championship win in as many weeks.

Harrington's falter allowed Cabrera to capitalize, as the Argentine golfer showcased resilience after a period away from the sport. Cabrera had doubts about his return, but his hard work paid off, and this victory marks a triumphant comeback, culminating in an 8-under 280 finish, ahead of Harrington and Thomas Bjorn, who shared second place.
