The final day of the 2009 Masters certainly unfolded in a bizarre fashion, but after Kenny Perry pulled his second shot on the 10th hole left of the green and failed to get up and down, Angel Cabrera had two putts to win the tournament on the second sudden-death playoff hole and became the last golfer standing in a Sunday slugfest at Augusta.Perry seemed locked to win the tournament, holding a two-stroke lead with just two holes to play, but he finished bogey-bogey down the stretch, allowing playing partner Cabrera and Chad Campbell to join him in a sudden-death playoff The most bizarre circumstance surrounding Cabrera's win -- outside his Sunday yellow becoming the "new red" -- might be his early Sunday play: he shot an inexplicable one-over on the front-nine Sunday, bogeyed 10 and appeared poised to free fall from the leaderboard before rattling off three birdies on the final six holes.His first playoff hole was no less odd, as Cabrera managed to hit his second shot off a tree before scrambling back for a par that extended his hopes of winning the green jacket to the 10th hole.The win was Cabrera's second major in the past three years -- in 2007 he was the first Argentinian to win the U.S. Open -- as he became the first Argentinian to don a green jacket in Augusta's rich history.And as surprising as watching Cabrera storm back to win was, it seems like a pretty fitting ending considering the insanity that consumed Augusta on Sunday.
Argentine Ángel Cabrera won the 2009 Masters Tournament Sunday with a second-hole playoff victory over Kenny Perry at the Augusta National Golf Club in the American state of Georgia.

Cabrera, who gained international attentional with a win at the 2007 U.S. Open, shot a 12-under-par over 72 holes to force a playoff with Americans Perry and Chad Campbell. With a pair of 68s in the first two rounds, Cabrera sat in third place, one stroke behind leaders Perry and Campbell. In the third round, Cabrera shot a 69 to share the lead with Perry, before shooting a 71 on Sunday to end the day at 12-under-par.

With two holes to go, Perry had a two-shot lead at 14-under. He bogeyed both holes, while Cabrera parred both, having shot 3 birdies in the final six holes.

In the first playoff hole, Perry and Cabrera both shot pars, while Campbell dropped out after missing his par shot. In the second playoff hole, Perry hit his second shot off the green, and Cabrera was able to two-putt his way to victory.
