Rafa Cabrera Bello has played his best when talent surrounds him. The Spaniard owns three top-10s this season. They’ve come in Dubai (T6), the WGC-Mexico (T3) and the BMW PGA (T8). RCB also finished T17 at the PLAYERS and T38 at the Masters.

In 2017, he beat a good field to win the Scottish Open, took T4 at the Open Championship and placed T5 at the WGC-HSBC Champions.

This week’s Rolex Series event should be enough to trip his trigger.

RCB’s made 10 of 12 cuts this season. He’s finished T40 or better all 10 times.

If he can keep it in between the trees this week, he’s got a great chance to contend for his second win in the last 10 months.

Cabrera Bello is 47th in strokes gained tee to green, 66th around the green and 32nd putting.
