The cut at this tournament last year is not the only one Rafa Cabrera-Bello has ever missed, and it will surely not be the last. However, this year the Canary Islander was not going to leave anything to chance and he has found his A-game to book himself a place in the third round at the Open de España and he did so with aplomb.
In fact, today he kept his card clean of bogeys, and was able to focus on distancing himself from par. On as many as six occasions, one more than yesterday, Rafa stole a shot from the black course at Club de Campo Villa de Madrid, where he now boasts a score of -11.
The result means he shares the leadership with Adri Arnaus and will be in another group tomorrow that is destined to entertain the large crowds that followed them all day today.
