Angel Cabrera becomes first to claim senior majors in consecutive weeks

The 2009 Masters champion secured his second senior major in six days by edging Padraig Harrington at Congressional Country Club.

Overview

  • Cabrera fired a final-round 3-under 69 to finish 8-under and win the Senior PGA Championship by one stroke.
  • His victory in Maryland follows last week’s Regions Tradition triumph, marking his third PGA Tour Champions title of the season.
  • The 55-year-old Argentine served 30 months in prison for domestic violence and resumed competitive golf in 2023.
  • He overcame a two-and-a-half-year hiatus without touching a club to achieve back-to-back senior major wins.
  • His comeback has drawn both acclaim for its resilience and debate over his place on tour given his past convictions.
