Cabrera makes it 2 senior majors in a week, rallying past Harrington at the Senior PGA
BETHESDA, Md. (AP) — 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 finished at 8-under 280. Harrington (68) and Thomas Bjorn (68) tied for second, with Retief Goosen (71), Jason Caron (71) and Stewart Cink (70) another stroke back.
Cabrera spent 20 months in an Argentine prison after he was accused of making threats toward former partners. He was released on parole in August 2023 and won a PGA Tour Champions event last month before missing the cut at the Masters.

Rory McIlroy changes to different TaylorMade driver ahead of RBC Canadian Open
Rory McIlroy changes to different TaylorMade driver ahead of RBC Canadian Open A week ahead of the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont, and after having his old Qi10 driver fail a USGA test, Rory's got a new driver in the bag in Canada. According to TaylorMade, Rory McIlroy intends to play this week's RBC Canadian Open using a new driver, switching from the company's Qi10, which he used to win the 2025 Masters and complete the career Grand Slam in April, into TaylorMade's new Qi35. McIlroy's Qi35 will have the same loft (9 degrees) and has been fitted with the same shaft, a Fujikura Ventus Black, but McIlroy has the adjustable hosel set to a lower position and the club has a slightly shorter finished length to help the five-time major winner enhance his accuracy off the tee. That will be especially important next week as the rough at Oakmont Country Club, site of the 2025 U.S. Open, may be the thickest and most brutal the players see all season. According to TaylorMade, McIlroy had the new driver with him earlier this week when he visited and played Oakmont. McIlroy is also expected to be using a new 3-wood starting this week, opting for a Qi35 with 15 degrees of loft. The new 3-wood was built with the same Fujikura Ventus Black 8X shaft McIlroy had on his Qi10 3-wood. Finally, Rory added a TaylorMade P770 3 iron to his bag this week at TPC Toronto, replacing the 18-degree Qi10 fairway wood he often carries.

Steph Curry contemplating different career moves once he retires from NBA
While Steph Curry isn't retiring from the NBA, he likely has more basketball behind him than he does in front of him. So the Golden State Warriors star is contemplating what comes next. During an interview with CNBC, Curry revealed a career in broadcasting, having some type of ownership involvement in a team and even playing on PGA Tours are on his list. Advertisement 'The idea of being a part of an ownership group and the right opportunity that allows me to have an impact on how a franchise should be operated — how you're going after true winning, like we've done here with the Warriors — that's something I'm excited about pursuing," Curry told CNBC. 'It's interesting. Obviously, as an active player, you can't participate in that level until you're done. So you'll see me in the seat somewhere down the road.' While Curry admitted he might not be able to afford majority ownership of an NBA team, he expressed interest in potentially buying a WNBA franchise. If Curry were to go into broadcasting — something many former players have done — he wouldn't jump right into it. Another option for the 37-year-old is professional golf. In 2023, the four-time NBA champion won the American Century Championship, shooting a 72 en route to the victory. Advertisement 'It's an extremely challenging tour to crack if you're not one of the champion ex-PGA guys that are making that jump after you turn 50,' Curry said. 'So to do all the qualifying journey and all that — I'm pretty sure I'll try it. I've seen guys who are preparing themselves to do the same thing." There are plenty of options for Curry when he decides to walk away from basketball. But he wants to make sure he makes the best possible decision for himself. 'Right now, just doing your homework on the different pathways and options that might be available,' he said. More Celtics content Read the original article on MassLive.
