The 2017 Scottish Open champion Rafa Cabrera Bello will seek another links title this week at Ballyliffin. RCB isn’t far from finding the winner’s circle in 2018.

Playing a global schedule, Cabrera Bello owns four top-10s as part of eight top-30s. He’s shown up at the bigger events, too.

RCB finished T3 at the WGC-Mexico, T17 at the PLAYERS Championship, T8 at the BMW PGA and solo fourth at the Italian Open.

He’s missed just three cuts all season.

RCB tied for fourth at the 2015 Irish Open.

The 34-year-old has one of the more well-rounded games of those in the field this week at the Irish Open. On the PGA Tour, Cabrera Bello is a positive in each of the main strokes gained categories, including eighth on approaches and 19th tee to green.

His accuracy off the tee (24th) and finding the dance floor (10th in GIR) makes him an attractive pick, especially if you need someone who is a good bet to play all four rounds.
