“It's been a great day. I started, my strokes were not great at the beginning, and then that kept improving, and I think the key today was on the greens. I putted really well…It was playing hard. The wind complicated things, especially the shots into the green.”

Cabrera shared his thoughts after the second round as well, and his words were:

“It's not that easy, but I worked really hard. I worked on the technical part, worked on the physical part and the competitive part, and I think this is why things are starting to work now…The hardest part was probably the short game, but with a lot of practice I was able to recover it fast.”

Cabrera finished three rounds of the tournament, and his total score is 5 under. He shot 72 with two birdies on the front nine and 69 with two birdies, along with an eagle. The third round saw a 70 with one birdie on the front nine and three birdies on the back nine.
