Tiger may have finished the 2009 Masters Tournament tied for sixth place, but there was plenty of drama on the final round at Augusta. Kenny Perry, who led starting the day, completed regulation play tied with Chad Campbell and Angel Cabrera, forcing a three-man, sudden-death playoff. It was the first ever three-man playoff in Masters history.
It was Cabrera who prevailed, making him (at #69) the lowest-ranked player to ever win at Augusta. He is also the first Argentine to ever win the Masters.
Cabrera, 39, who plays regularly on the European Tour has just two PGA wins, but they are big ones. In addition to today’s Masters win, he won the 2007 US Open.
