Career

Cabrera was born in Villa Allende, Córdoba, Argentina. He worked as a caddie at the home club of internationally successful Argentine professional Eduardo Romero, who became his mentor. Cabrera turned professional at the age of twenty. His first three visits to the European Tour Qualifying School were unsuccessful, but on his fourth trip in 1995, made with Romero's financial assistance, he qualified for membership of the European Tour in 1996. He retained his card comfortably in his first three seasons and improved substantially to tenth on the Order of Merit in 1999. He has since finished in the top 15 of the Order of Merit on six occasions, with a best placing of fifth in 2005. CÃ³rdoba is a province of Argentina, located in the centre of the country. ...

Cabrera's first two professional wins came in Latin America in 1995 and his first European Tour win was the 2001 Argentine Open, which was sanctioned by the European Tour on a one off basis that year. In 2005 he won the BMW Championship, which is the most prestigious event on the European Tour schedule outside of the majors and the World Golf Championships. However it was only his third European Tour win, a tally which was perhaps a little disappointing given his consistent form on the tour. At that point he had also won seven non-European Tour events in Latin America, where the standard of play is much lower than on the European Tour.

Cabrera earned enough money ($623,504) on the PGA Tour in 2006 playing as a non-member to earn a tour card for 2007. He won his first major championship in 2007 winning the U.S. Open at Oakmont. He finished the tournament at +5 topping Tiger Woods and Jim Furyk by one stroke. Cabrera entered the third round at even par after finishing the first round one under and the second day one over. He struggled during the third day, finishing 6 stokes over par. However he came back strong on the last day, including a 20 foot birdie putt on the 300 yard par 3 8th, and finished one stroke under par, bringing him down to +5 for the tournament. This would prove to be enough to secure victory and give Cabrera his first career major victory. He became the first Argentine player to win the U.S. Open and the second Argentine born player to win a major, joining Roberto DeVicenzo who won The Open Championship in 1967 at Royal Liverpool. At a post match interview Cabrera said "Well, there are some players that have psychologists, some have sports psychologists, I smoke."^[3] ISO 4217 Code USD User(s) the United States, the British Indian Ocean Territory,[1] the British Virgin Islands, Cambodia, East Timor, Ecuador, El Salvador, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Palau, Panama, Turks and Caicos Islands, and the insular areas of the United States Inflation 2. ...
