Rafael Cabrera-Bello will make his third start on U.S. soil in five weeks at the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship.
It's nice to see the Spaniard give it a go with the world's best on a semi-frequent basis, but his results have left something to be desired. He missed the cut at Pebble Beach and was ousted in the second round of the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship. He finished 65th at Doral last season, so it's hard to be overly confident in his prospects at TPC Blue Monster. Mar 4 - 9:37 PM

Rafael Cabrera-Bello will make his first start in the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.

Cabrera-Bello is likely playing this week because his world ranking of 56th means he will be in the field at the upcoming WGC-Accenture Match Play. Given how different the Monterey Peninsula courses will play in comparison to Dove Mountain in two weeks, it will be hard to draw a correlation between his play this week and his expectations for the match play.

Rafael Cabrera-Bello withdrew from the final stage of Q School during his final round, citing a stomach ache.

Cabrera-Bellow started the day at 10-under 350, just five strokes outside the top 25. He opened his finale at PGA West's Stadium Course with a par at the par-4 10th hole before calling it quits. Shortly thereafter, he alerted his followers on Twitter with this entry: "Thanks to everybody for all the support. Stomach ache made me withdraw. #anotherdaywillbemyday" The Spaniard enjoyed a fruitful 2012. He chalked up an early win in Dubai, the first of six top 10s abroad. He also ascended into the top 50 of the world ranking for the first time, topping out at 43rd in August.

Rafael Cabrera-Bello backed up his opening 66 at the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational with a 5-under-par 33-32=65 to reach the midpoint in 9-under 131.

RBC signed his card while sitting two strokes adrift of the 36-hole clubhouse lead. He split only four (of 14) fairways today, but hit 12 greens and took 25 putts for the second consecutive round. Today's loop of Firestone featured six birdies, including rolls from 13'9", 11'2" and 44'3" at the 10th, 11th and 18th holes, respectively. Indeed, it's already an impressive week but one emphasized even further by the fact that he's dealt with a stomach virus since Thursday morning.

Rafael Cabrera-Bello turned in a 4-under-par 32-34=66 for his opening round of the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational.

The Spaniard hit 12 greens and took 25 putts in what was his first competitive loop at Firestone Country Club today. He opened with a chip-in for par from the rough 11 yards out at the 10th hole. RBC chased that with his first of five birdies when his attempt from 11'10" at the 11th disappeared. He'd also circle conversions from 21'9" and 12'11" at the 15th and third holes, respectively. At the time he signed his card, he held a share of the clubhouse lead, but was quickly bumped from the top by Lee Slattery (65) in the next pairing finishing on the ninth hole.

Rafael Cabrera-Bello returns to the U.S. Open at Olympic Club after having competed in his only other Open at Pebble Beach in 2010 where he finished T47.

The 55th ranked player in the world has put together an impressive season, winning the Omega Dubai Desert Classic and finishing T3 at the Volvo World Match Play. His 74.13 percent GIR is his best on the European Tour since 2008. His weakness is the flat stick, averaging over 30 putts per round.

Rafael Cabrera-Bello crafted a bogey-free, 4-under-par 34-34=68 in his final round to win the Omega Dubai Desert Classic by one stroke Stephen Gallacher and overnight leader Lee Westwood.

Westwood slept on a one-stroke margin after a dandy 67 in difficult conditions at Emirates Golf Club on Saturday, but he could manage only a 70 in the finale despite just one bogey and an eagle-2 at the second hole. Cabrera-Bello was one of three in pursuit one shot back entering the final round during which he hit 13 greens and saved par each of the other five times. He swallowed just three bogeys all week. "It’s an unbelievable feeling and it’s been a really spectacular week for me, the Spaniard said afterwards. "With so many big, big names I felt really proud of myself. I wanted to fight, I stayed calm, I did everything that I’ve read we should do in these type of situations." This is his second career victory on the European Tour. He's now exempt into the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational in August. "This will open a lot of doors and this was really the quality jump in my game I was looking for, and I had been practising hard for it."
