WHITE SULPHER SPRINGS, West Virginia -- A pair of aces created excitement
early, then Angel Cabrera completed the fifth come-from-behind victory
in the five-year history of The Greenbrier Classic when he closed with a
64 on Sunday.
Cabrera trailed Billy Hurley III by one entering the final round at the Old White TPC. The Argentine battled the former Navy officer mano y mano first, then pulled away from George McNeill, who was the leader in the clubhouse at 14 under, on the back nine.
When he holed a shot from 176 yards out in the fairway for an eagle at the 13th hole, Cabrera was three strokes ahead of McNeill, who closed with a red-hot 61 that included one of the aces.
He promptly bogeyed his next two holes to add a little pressure down the stretch but a two-putt birdie at No. 17 all but sealed the win.
The victory was the third of Cabrera's US PGA Tour career and he might have been inspired to do it this weekend after Argentina qualified for the semi-finals of soccer's World Cup Finals.
The two-time major champion made a huge move in the FedExCup standings, too -- vaulting from 158th to 54th.
Webb Simpson, who shot a final-round 63, was alone in third. It was his seventh top-10 finish of the season.
Hurley shot 73 and ended up in a seven-way tie for fourth, matching his career-best finish on the US Tour.
He was joined at 9 under by Keegan Bradley, Brendon Todd, Chris Stroud, Cameron Tringale, Will Wilcox and Bud Cauley, who made the day's other ace at the 18th hole.
