Angel Cabrera won the Senior PGA Championship at Congressional to secure his second senior major title in seven days. The 55-year-old from Argentina followed his win at the Regions Tradition on Monday with victory in Maryland. Cabrera, the 2007 US Open winner and 2009 Masters champion, overhauled Padraig Harrington in the closing holes to win by one shot.

Padraig Harrington, a mental blip and the maddening game of golf
When it comes to the Senior PGA Championship, which concluded on a gorgeous Sunday at brawny Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland, let's concentrate on a topic that relates to the everyman and steer clear of the unthinkable. Let's consider the words of Padraig Harrington, the three-time major champion who played beautiful golf until it turned ugly. Let's focus less on Ángel Cabrera, the two-time major champion who won the event but is a multiple-time domestic violence offender who spent 30 months in prison.

Making up for lost time, Angel Cabrera wins 2025 Senior PGA Championship at Congressional
It was quite the week for Angel Cabrera. The 55-year-old Argentine won two senior majors in the past six days. On Sunday, Cabrera broke out of a logjam at the Senior PGA Championship, shooting a 3-under 69 at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland, for a one-stroke victory over Padraig Harrington and Thomas Bjorn. Just six days earlier, Cabrera, the 2007 U.S. Open and 2009 Masters champion, claimed the rain-delayed Regions Tradition on Monday in Alabama, for his first senior major. At the Senior PGA Championship, Cabrera shared the 54-hole lead but trailed Harrington by two strokes after Harrington sank a birdie putt on No. 14. The championship flipped when Harrington made a double bogey at No. 15 and Cabrera birdied the hole a short while later to assume the lead. Harrington also made a bogey on the par-4 18th, which allowed Cabrera to bogey the closing hole and hang on for the win. Cabrera signed for a 72-hole total of 8-under 280. Harrington (68) and Bjorn (68) tied for second, with Retief Goosen (71), club professional Jason Caron (71) and Stewart Cink (70) another stroke back. Cabrera was sentenced to 30 months in prison and only swung a broom for two years, losing what typically are the best years of his PGA Tour Champions career. He was released from jail, where he became sober, in August 2023, after he completed more than two years in custody over gender violence cases against two of his ex-girlfriends. Cabrera earned his third victory in his last four starts on the senior circuit. His longtime instructor Charlie Epps, who brought him a new set of Ping clubs in Argentina after his release prison, knew that Cabrera was capable of such golf after serving time for his crime and cleaning up his act. 'I always wanted to see how he would play sober and we're finding out now,' Epps said. 'There's no telling what he would've done if he had this discipline on the regular tour. And he did at certain times but he's got the bit in his mouth and he's showing that he can still play golf…He's in a really good place.'

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. ___ AP golf:
