Angel Cabrera survives three-man playoff to win Masters

The Masters delivered the show everyone wanted and a champion no one expected. Angel Cabrera became the first Argentine to win the green jacket at Augusta National on Sunday by surviving a wild final round that began with a supercharged duel between Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson and ended with a stunning collapse by Kenny Perry.

For 6 people to do this in 10 years hardly qualifies as "only."

Oh really ? so waht who gives a ratzass ?

While people will look at this as the Master's that Kenny Perry lost, what is forgotten is how well Cabrera chipped and putted coming down the stretch. Cabrera made a nice two putt birdie on 13, a nice birdie on 15, a curling 12 foot birdie on 16, a beautiful downhill chip to within inches, for par, on 17, a must-make 4 footer on 18 (to get into the playoff), and a 12 foot putt on 18 to keep alive in the playoff.

Kenny Perry played great golf for 16 holes, but missed numerous putts on the front nine that could have given him a larger cushion. Perry continued to miss opportunities when he three putted the 13th.

Perry hit a horrible iron into 17 and then butchered the chip shot to make a bogey. He didn't hit a particularly good shot from that moment on. Sure, Perry blew it, but Cabrera did what he had to do to win it.

that was the worst final holes by anybody in a major. Kenny Perry blew the lead and didnt deserve to sin. To allow Cabrera get up and down on the first playoff hole and go on to beat you... kind of embarassing.

[Oh Danny Boy]

yawn.............

That is a ridiculous comment. How about, now there are now only 13 players that have won only a single major this decade.
In case anybody else was curious about the other multiple winners: Goosen(2), Singh(2), Harrington(3), Mickelson(3), and of course Tiger Woods(12).

He played great, if some don't like golf, then don't comment.
