REUTERS: It took Angel Cabrera 159 attempts to win a regular PGA Tour event but he broke through in style with an emphatic two-stroke victory at The Greenbrier Classic in West Virginia on Sunday. The long-hitting Argentine played like the two-time major champion that he is, closing with a six-under-par 64 on Greenbrier’s Old White course in White Sulphur Springs. Boosted by an eagle at the par-four 13th, where he holed out from 175 yards, Cabrera finished on 16-under 264 to claim his first non-major PGA Tour title. “I’ve been working hard to get to this moment and I’m very happy the work we’ve been doing the last few weeks paid off,” the 44-year-old told reporters, adding that the win was a huge boost heading into this month’s British Open at Hoylake. “I needed to win a tournament. I felt under control and I didn’t want to let it get away from me. “I’ve been confident with my golf swing and now I feel confident mentally.” American George McNeill made a hole-in-one en route to a brilliant 61 to claim second place on 14-under but his success on the course was understandably put into context by the news his sister Michelle had died of cancer on Sunday morning. There was a further four-stroke gap to 2012 US Open champion Webb Simpson, while third round leader Billy Hurley III faded with a 73 to tie for fourth on nine-under.
