Cabrera-Bello, Cazaubon make Olympic moves

Rafael Cabrera-Bello punched his ticket to the Masters with his third-place showing at the WGC-Dell Match Play, but that wasn't the only extra benefit from the Spaniard's surprising run through the bracket.

He also nearly solidified a spot in the Olympics, representing Spain behind Sergio Garcia. Cabrera-Bello is now up to No. 36 in the world - 96 spots ahead of the next highest-ranked Spaniard, Miguel Angel Jimenez.

But Cabrera-Bello wasn't the only player to make an Olympic charge this weekend, as Rodolfo Cazaubon took a big step toward representing Mexico in Rio with his T-3 finish at the Puerto Rico Open, a result that jumped him over Carlos Ortiz for his country's top spot.
