McGinley’s melancholy

FAR more than a golf tournament and lots of money were at stake at Wentworth yesterday when the BMW PGA Championship eventually went to a worthy winner in 35 year-old Argentinian Angel Cabrera.

He held off the challenge of Ireland’s Paul McGinley, who finished second to claim a prize of €444,440, jump comfortably into the world’s top 50 and accordingly qualify for the US Open at Pinehurst from June 16.

He is also up to seventh in the European Tour money list with €680,468.
