Perry was just off the green to the right, chipped close, and tapped in for par. Cabrera scrambled after an errant tee shot and a recovery shot that ricocheted off a tree, fortuitously into the fairway. His third shot from 114 yd ended 6 ft away and he holed the par putt to extend the playoff. The next hole was the 10th, and Perry failed to get up and down from left of the green; Cabrera two-putted from 15 ft for par to become the first Argentinian to win the Masters.http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/golf/7995898.stm David Ornstein Argentina's Angel Cabrera beat Kenny Perry and Chad Campbell in a play-off to win the 73rd Masters at Augusta BBC Sport 11 April 2009 11 April 2009 https://web.archive.org/web/20090415085239/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/golf/7995898.stm April 15, 2009 live mdy-all PlacePlayerScoreTo parMoney ($)1 ARG Ángel Cabrera 4-4 E 1,350,000T2 USA Kenny Perry 4-x x 660,000 USA Chad Campbell x x Controversies Rory McIlroy was involved in a controversial incident during the second round.
