CASTELLON, Spain (AP) Masters champion Angel Cabrera has been disqualified from the Castello Masters because his flight was delayed from Bermuda and he missed his tee time.

Cabrera was runner-up Wednesday in the PGA Grand Slam of Golf in Bermuda. The plan was to catch an overnight flight to Spain, and he was helped by an afternoon start. But after a series of flight delays, along with strong wind, not even a private helicopter once he landed could get him to the course on time.

And his bad timing continued. His group made it through only one hole before play was temporarily stopped due to high wind. Had the wind kept them from teeing off, Cabrera still could have joined them.

Power Shoulder Turn Take a tip from hockey players when they hit a slap shot. From the top of your backswing do not turn your hips but rather turn your shoulders through the ball, this will naturally turn the hips but create a lot more power.
