Angel Cabrera captured his second senior major in just six days, shooting a 3-under 69 on Sunday to secure a one-stroke victory at the Senior PGA Championship at Congressional.
The Argentine, who won the 2007 U.S. Open and 2009 Masters, is riding an incredible hot streak. He claimed the rain-delayed Regions Tradition on Monday in Alabama for his first senior major, then quickly backed it up with another trophy.
Cabrera trailed Padraig Harrington by two strokes after the Irishman drained a long birdie putt on No. 14. But the tournament turned dramatically on the 15th, where Harrington stumbled to a double bogey while Cabrera birdied the same hole to seize the lead.
When Harrington bogeyed the par-4 18th, Cabrera needed only a closing bogey to win — and that’s exactly what he got.
Cabrera finished at 8-under 280, with Harrington (68) and Thomas Bjorn (68) tying for second. Retief Goosen (71), Jason Caron (71) and Stewart Cink (70) shared fourth place at 6-under.
What makes Cabrera’s resurgence particularly notable is his recent personal history. He spent 20 months in an Argentine prison after being accused of making threats toward former partners, gaining release on parole in August 2023. His comeback has been swift — he won a PGA Tour Champions event last month before missing the cut at the Masters, and now he’s claimed back-to-back senior majors.
