You need to watch this ridiculous putt Rafa Cabrera-Bello made from 75 feet

Rafa Cabrera-Bello is the unknown name in Sunday morning's semifinals of the WGC-Dell Match Play.

The Spaniard's last win came at the 2012 Dubai Desert Classic, or 116 starts ago. The other semifinal participants Jason Day, Rory McIlroy and Louis Oosthuizen all have wins over the past five months.

But you can say Cabrera-Bello has accomplished the most out of this group already at Austin Country Club. Starting the week 52nd in the world, Cabrera-Bello's success will vault him into the top 50 in the world, which means he has earned an invitation to the Masters in two weeks. The Spaniard even wore green to the course on Saturday to get in the Masters mood.

This putt he made to clinch his match against Kevin Kisner in the second round might've been the most impressive shot of the week. Talk about clutch. Look at the touch...the ball rolls into the hole on the final revolution.

More impressive shots like this for Cabrera-Bello could increase his profile even more, and potentially get on European Ryder Cup captain Darren Clarke's radar for Hazeltine later this year.
