2009 US Masters Golf Winner

Argentinian Angel Cabrera won over 48-year old Kenny Perry winning the 73rd Masters PGA Tournament on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff. It was the first playoff for the 39-year old Cabrera, who is also the 2007 U.S. Open champion, closed with 1-under-par 71 to finish at 12-under 276, as did Perry (71) and Campbell (69).

Had Cabrera shot a final round in the 60s, he would have been the first player in Masters history to do it in all four rounds. He opened with 68-68-69, and is the rare Masters champion not to finish in the top 10 in the three major statistical categories. He was 11th in driving (284.5 yards), tied for 12th in putting (113 putts) and tied for 14th in greens in regulation (50 of 72).

2008 US Masters Golf Winner

Trevor Immelman followed in the illustrious footsteps of Gary Player by becoming only the second South African winner of the Masters Tournament at Augusta National. The 28 year old completed a wire-to-wire victory with a final round of 75 for a three stroke triumph over World Number One, Tiger Woods.

Immelman, who finished at 8-under 280, started the week by playing a practice round with his boyhood idol, Gary Player, who won his third Masters in 1978 and set a record by playing for the 51st time.

Immelman handled the wind and pressure of Augusta National far better than anyone chasing him Sunday to win The Masters, the first South African in a green jacket in 30 years.

2007 Masters Cup Winner

Zach Johnson stuck to a carefully devised game plan not going for any par 5s in two shots and finished 11-under par on those holes to win the 2007 Masters. Johnson's total of 1-over-par 289 equaled the highest four-day total in Masters history tying Sam Snead (1954) and Jack Burke (1956). Johnson birdied three of the final six holes Sunday and made a key par save at No. 18 with a deft chip.

He defeated Tiger Woods, Retief Goosen and Rory Sabbatini by two strokes. The tradition of the Honorary Starter returned to the Masters when Arnold Palmer became the seventh player to hit an opening tee shot. Palmer's long-time friend and rival, Gary Player, competed in his 50th Masters and Fred Couples made his 23rd consecutive cut, tying Player's all-time mark.

There was no stopping Mickelson, who came into the week on a roll after winning last week's BellSouth Classic with a 28-under total.

The left-handed Mickelson opened the tournament with a 70 to tie for fourth place, was tied for fifth after a second-round 72 and led after a third-round 70.

Mickelson, who is now 35 under in his last eight rounds, is only the fifth player to win his previous tournament before a Masters victory. Sandy Lyle was the last one to do it, in 1988.

2006 Masters Cup Winner

Winner: Phil Mickelson

He struck for four birdies in a final-round 3-under-par 69, which was good enough for a two-shot victory.

He finished at 7-under 281 on the toughened-up Augusta National Golf Club, the highest winning total since Mike Weir shot that score in 2003.

Five players - Jose Maria Olazabal (66 on Sunday), Retief Goosen (69), Woods (70), Fred Couples and Chad Campbell (71s) - tied for third place, three shots behind Mickelson.
