AUGUSTA, Ga. – Angel Cabrera didn’t want to stash away his golf from August to January.
A doctor told him to.
Tendinitis in a wrist kept flaring up, and the only solution turned out to be basic rest, which resulted in a heavy dose of golf-watching as a side effect.
“I had a problem in the left wrist and I wanted to come back,” Cabrera said through a translator. “So it’s not that I didn’t want to play. I was told by a doctor.”
But rest made the 2009 Masters champion rusty. He tied for 71st, tied for 49th and then missed the cut in three of his next four events, including last week at the Shell Houston Open.
