Cabrera back to business

New US Open champion Angel Cabrera on Thursday starts his bid to become European Open champion as well – and only four of last year’s Ryder Cup team are able to stop him.

Despite the event being back at the K Club near Dublin, albeit on the Smurfit Course the other side of the River Liffey from their thrashing of the Americans last September, eight of Ian Woosnam’s heroes are for one reason or another not playing.
