Cabrera rallies past Harrington to win Senior PGA Championship

Angel Cabrera won his second senior major in a week, shooting a 3-under 69 on Sunday and rallying for a one-stroke victory in the Senior PGA Championship.

Cabrera, the 2007 U.S. Open and 2009 Masters champion, won the rain-delayed Regions Tradition on Monday in Alabama, which was the Argentine’s first senior major.

Six days later at Congressional, he trailed Padraig Harrington by two strokes after Harrington rolled in a long birdie putt on No. 14.

But Harrington double bogeyed No. 15, and Cabrera birdied the hole a short while later to take the lead. After a bogey by Harrington on the par-4 18th, Cabrera needed only a closing bogey – and got it.

Cabrera spent 20 months in an Argentine prison after he was accused of making threats toward former partners.
