Angel Cabrera admitted he felt ‘very emotional’ after claiming his second senior major on Sunday.

The Argentine golfer claimed victory at the Senior PGA Championship in Maryland.

His win at the Congressional Country Club was his second in the space of a week.

It followed a maiden senior major triumph at the Regions Tradition seven days earlier.

Cabrera ended the weekend eight-under-par after a final round 69 to finish a shot clear of Padraig Harrington and Thomas Bjorn.

The 55-year-old now has three wins to his name on the Champions Tour, with all three coming in the last five events.

In the process, he has scooped $1.26million (£930,000) in prize money from those victories alone.

It comes less than two years after his release from prison after serving 30 months behind bars.

Cabrera had been convicted for assault and threats against a former partner before being released in August 2023.

He was cleared to return to PGA Tour events four months later and has now recaptured his form on the senior circuit.

Reflecting on his latest win, Cabrera admitted: “I feel very emotional. Maybe you cannot see, but I’m very very emotional inside. Especially after all of the things that I went through.”

The two-time Major winner added: “I thought that I was going to fail, especially after sitting without touching a club for a while.

“I’ve been working very, very hard and I feel that all the hard work pays off and this is what I’m having right now.”

Cabrera previously won the 2007 US Open and 2009 Masters earlier in his career.

He made his return to Augusta National in April, his first appearance since being released from prison.

However, he failed to make the cut after finishing on 11-over-par at the end of the second round.

Cabrera could still add more senior major wins this year after scooping the first two championships of the year.

His next opportunity to do so will come at the Senior Players Championship at Firestone between June 19 and 22.

The US Senior Open is then scheduled for the following weekend, with Broadmoor in Colorado serving as host.

This year’s final senior major will be held the Senior Open Championship in July from Sunningdale in Berkshire.
