This year's Masters was exciting. There were leader changes during the tournament. It started with Chad Campbell then Kenny Perry then Angel Cabrera. We also had the pairing of Tiger Woods and Phil Mickleson on the last day. Both golfers were clawing there way up the leader board. However, both golfers didn't make crucial putts in the end that cost them a chance to win the prized "green jacket". Mickleson ended up finishing fifth with -9 and Woods eventually finished 6th with three other golfers.
At the end of the third round Chad Campbell, Kenny Perry, and Angel Cabrera tied with -12 forcing a playoff. It was Perry who looked poised to become the oldest major champion at the age of 48 years, 10 months. He made 11 straight pars, birdied the par-3 12th from 30 feet, the par-5 15th with two putts and the par-3 16th with a spectacular shot to 1 foot.
Cabrera's approach at 18 on the first extra hole came up short, but he clutched up again by making a 6-footer for par. This is the first Masters win for Argentina.
