What Happened in the 2009 Masters Tournament

Angel Cabrera, Kenny Perry and Chad Campbell entered a playoff after each finished 72 holes of the 2009 Masters at 12-under par. Campbell had the best final round of the three golfers — 69 to the 71s of Perry and Cabrera — but was the first to drop out of the sudden-death playoff. Campbell went out on the first playoff hole.

Cabrera then won it on the second extra hole with a par to Perry's bogey. It was Cabrera's second win in a major championship, two years after his victory in the 2007 U.S. Open. Cabrera became not just the first Argentine golfer to win The Masters, but the first from any South American country to do so.

Perry and Cabrera began the final day tied for the lead, with Campbell two strokes behind. And it appeared that Perry was the one who would claim the Green Jacket — the 48-year-old held the lead for much of the last round. Perry birdied holes 15 and 16 to hold a 2-stroke lead with two holes to play.

But Perry then bogeyed Nos. 17 and 18 to fall into the playoff. It was Perry's second sudden-death playoff loss in a major: He fell to Mark Brooks in a playoff at the 1996 PGA Championship.

Three former Masters champions played in the tournament for the final time in 2009, including Fuzzy Zoeller and Raymond Floyd. But Gary Player was the big farewell. The three-time winner made the last of his Masters-record 52 career starts at age 73. All three missed the cut.
