Angel beats Harrington in the playoff

HAMILTON (Bermuda): US Open champion Angel Cabrera wanted to beat an elite field of major champions at the PGA Grand Slam of Golf, but it did not escape the big-hitting Argentine that this was an exhibition.

That explains why he hit driver at every turn, with mixed results.

It put him in dire trouble on the opening hole, leading to a triple bogey that left him five shots behind. And it rescued Cabrera at the end of an exciting afternoon at Mid-Ocean Club, with two booming drives on the par-five 18th.

One led to an eagle that put him in a playoff with British Open champion Padraig Harrington.

  

Power play: Angel Cabrera holds the trophy after winning the PGA Grand Slam of Golf in Bermuda on Wednesday.

The other led to a two-putt birdie for an unlikely victory on Wednesday.

揑 trust my driver very much,
