The Masters Champ Angel Cabrera has won the first golf organizer since the prison was released

Angel Cabrera won his first golf tournament on Sunday since he was released from prison.

The 2009 Masters winner won the James Hardie Pro Football Hall of Fame Invitational, a PGA Tour Champions event, the 11-Unter-PAR. He won the victory over KJ Choi and reserved the Gooses.

“Everything I’ve been going through in recent years to be here, the chance to win is very emotional,” he said after the event.

Cabrera was sentenced to prisons for threats and harassment against two of his ex-girlfriend. He was released in August 2023 and was clarified in PGA Tour Champions events last year.

After his release from prison, he told Golf Digest that his behavior was embarrassing and asked his former friends for forgiveness.

“It is remorse and embarrassed to me,” said Cabrera. “I made serious mistakes. I refused to listen to someone and did what I wanted, how I wanted and when I was wrong. I was wrong. I ask Micaela for forgiveness. I ask Celia for forgiveness. They were unlucky to cross the way with me when I was worst. I was not the devil, but I did bad things.”

Cabrera will take part in the master later this week because Champions have lifelong exceptions.

“I can’t wait to see him,” said Adam Scott, master winner in 2013, on Sunday at Augusta National. “It’s a happy thing for me. We have a pretty long story. I met him on the European tour for the first time before we both were on the PGA tour. We played presidential cups, we were partners.”
