The victory of the Canarian golfer is the sixth that a Spanish player gets this season and joins the two of Sergio Garcia (Dubai Desert Classic and Masters of Augusta), the two of Jon Rahm (Farmers Insurantce and Open de RIlanda) and Alvaro Quiros (Rocco Forte Open).
Cabrera-Bello won with a total of 13 under par and a final round of 64 strokes after beating Englishman Callum Shinkwin on the first playoff hole. Third place, with -10, went to Frenchman Matthieu Pavon.
