Jail-returned Angel Cabrera gets candid about making a strong comeback

Angel Cabrera candidly reflected on making a strong comeback at the 2025 Senior PGA Championship after returning from jail. The Argentine golfer was allegedly accused of domestic violence and was sentenced to prison back in 2021 for two years.

He was released on parole in 2023, and this week he is playing at the 2025 Senior PGA Championship. He had a good outing this week in the senior major, and after two rounds, he is in contention for the title.

In the post-round press conference of the Senior PGA Championship, Angel Cabrera talked about his game and said (via ASAP Sports):

"You always feel the same thing. Anytime you are in a position that you could win, you feel the adrenaline.

He further talked about his chance to win the event.

"Obviously I knew I could win, but I didn't know it was going to happen so early, and the fact that I could win early in the season gives you a lot of impetus and momentum for winning the next tournament."

Meanwhile, it was Vijay Singh who is in the lead after two rounds of the Senior PGA Championship in a tie with Cameron Percy and Y.E. Yang. Phillip Archer settled in a tie for fourth place with Thomas Bjørn, Søren Kjeldsen, Jason Caron, Padraig Harrington, Shane Bertsch, and Robert Karlsson.
