Angel Cabrera filled the covers of golf magazines four years ago, being convicted of violence against women. The Argentinian golfer spent two years in prison, and a year and a half ago, the experienced golfer was released. Upon his release from prison, Cabrera admitted that he regretted his actions, believing that he had done wrong things that brought him serious consequences.
However, his desire to return to golf courses was so strong that Angel trained hard immediately after his release from prison, believing that he could win trophies. It turned out that he was right.
The Argentine won the PGA Tour Champions last Sunday, posting a late birdie for a 1-under par 71. Winning the inaugural James Hardie Pro Football Hall of Fame Invitational is very important for this golfer.
After winning this tournament, Cabrera shared his emotions:

"Everything I've gone through the last few years, being here, having a chance to win, is very emotional," Cabrera said after he won, as quoted by Daily Mail.
Angel Cabrera's reaction
The famous golfer has recorded many great results during his long career, and the fans best remember his victory at the US Open in 2007. The Argentine was sentenced to two years in prison in July 2021, shocking the public at that time.
Cabrera subsequently admitted in an interview with the media that he was ashamed of his actions, and that he was not overly concerned with the advice of others. Years later, the experienced golfer realized what a mistake he had made, asking for forgiveness from his partners.
"I am repentant and embarrassed," Cabrera said. "I made serious mistakes. I refused to listen to anyone and did what I wanted, how I wanted and when I wanted. That was wrong. I ask Micaela for forgiveness. I ask Celia for forgiveness. They had the bad luck of crossing paths with me when I was at my worst. I wasnt the devil, but I did bad things."
