Angel Cabrera slides into a green jacket

The roars were back at Augusta National Golf Club, the 75th edition of the Masters Tournament produced more birdies and more dramatic than in recent memory. For much of the week, the roar tender follows a veteran 48 years of being the oldest player to win the Masters - or a major championship, for that matter.

At the 2008 Ryder Cup exit magical season, Kenny Perry continued to bask in the twilight of his career, as he split tight fairways with his driver and Augusta TaylorMade R9 time and again reached the putting surface with his irons TaylorMade. MA Perry realized his putter, which helped negotiate the large, sloping greens smooth and bring it to the lead after 36 holes.

"My putter is much better. I'm actually very comfortable on the greens. Perry said.

Combined with co-leader Chad Campbell during the third round on Saturday, Perry continued his walk toward the record books. At 70 two under par, gave him a share the lead after 54 holes and 2007 U.S. Open Angel Cabrera.

Although he downplayed the pressure to win the Masters and his first major title, Perry shared at least someone close to him felt it was important.

"Dad always said:" You need to win that Green Jacket "," Perry said, laughing.

At the time Perry has reached the tee 71st Sunday, he looked ahead, as his club TaylorMade kept clicking. In fact, he had stuffed a shot 8 iron - at the par-3 16th hole and tapped in for birdie. The sentimental favorite was a lead of two strokes with two holes to play.

Then, the debonair Kentucky short of magic. A few errant approach shot led to a chip and nervous bogey on the hole 71st. A reader of bunkers and a missed green led to another bogey on the 72nd hole. Bogey, Bogey, in the playoffs.

In the end, the teachers - and go with the record books - has slipped from the hands of Perry. Although disappointed, Perry kept his head in defeat, once again about his father.

"He just wanted me to win," Perry said. "He wants the best for me as I want the best for my children. We have a good conversation this evening."

The man from Cordoba

The Masters 2009 winner in sudden death overtime with Perry and Campbell, Argentinian Angel Cabrera clearly indicated that the victory did not avenge the heartbreaking loss of his compatriot Roberto de Vicenzo De Masters 1968.

(De Vicenzo betrayed the title of master, when he signed an incorrect scoreboard. Bob Goalby beat in a playoff 18 holes the next day.)

"De Vicenzo had bad luck, said Cabrera. "It's not going to change what happened to him. "The double major winner added," This victory, back in Argentina, it will help a lot to our game. "

Introduced in the game as a basket of 10 years, the native of Cordoba successful golf pro has been a lesson perseverance. Argentina is not a home for professional golfers. And Cabrera, the son of a handyman and maid who separated when Cabrera was a rascal, was not born into the privileged class.

However, this does not prevent him from rising less become one of the visits of world's elite golfers. Quality Cabrera hang was again exposed to Augusta National Golf Club, especially as the light faded on Sunday afternoon.

The man who was not supposed to win the 2007 U.S. Open Tiger duels Woods and Jim Furyk practiced his golf clubs PING and impressive power game, including a putter improved PING i Series 1 / 2 Craz-E B, to fit in a match Sudden death and escape the green jacket.

"I was happy with my game and I had confidence. I was just trying enjoy the moment, "said the man from Cordoba. "A lot of magical things happen. It's just the Masters. "

If did not take long for the swashbuckling Mickelson, brandishing his Callaway golf clubs, to overshadow the game No. 1 player. Slashing recovery plans fantastic pines with his irons Callaway X-Prototype and sinking birdie after birdie with his faithful Odyssey White Hot putter mallet, Lefty ran a front nine of 30 binder files. A frustrated Tiger bravely played on, make some birdies of his own.
