Well I predicted an exciting climax to the 2009 Masters at Augusta and definitely wasn’t disappointed, Angel Cabrera clinched victory at the second hole of a thrilling 3 way playoff with long time leader Kenny Perry and Chad Campbell.

Perry missed his chance to become the oldest Masters champion in the long history of the tournament when after 22 holes without dropping a shot he finished his final round bogey, bogey.

A lot of entertainment on the front 9 came via the sideshow of Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson who paired together played to some of the biggest galleries the tournament has ever seen, Mickelson was on fire racking up 6 birdies he reached the turn in 30 equaling the course record and at that point was only one shot off the lead having started the round 7 adrift, unfortunately he was unable to maintain the momentum and it was left to Perry, Cabrera and Campbell to battle for the green jacket.
