Acciona Open de España 2021, Madrid: 7-10 October: Day Three


Cabrera Bello: "I'm going to have a very good chance at it tomorrow." 

From the European Tour News Report:

Rafa Cabrera Bello was back to his brilliant best as he carded a bogey free 64 to take a two shot lead into the final round at the 2021 Acciona Open de España presented by Madrid...

Cabrera Bello has a Rolex Series victory and a Ryder Cup appearance on his CV but, having won this event at every age level from under-seven to under-18 as an amateur, a victory in the professional tournament would rank very highly in his list of career highlights.

"It would be amazing," he said. "I've won every Spanish amateur title there is and I'm missing this one which would be the pinnacle of Spanish golf.

"I'm going to have a very good chance at it tomorrow."   Read more

Cabrera Bello, thrice a winner on the European tour, was in marvellous form as he made seven birdies in a bogey-free round that left him at 17-under for the tournament at the Club de Campo Villa de Madrid.  Read more
