 From April 9 to 12, the was filled with crowd fans as they witness some of the most unforgettable shots in golf.
These big time memories could only come from big time tournaments, and the crowd was not disappointed by what they saw in the 2009 Masters Tournament. The golf course was not only filled with the crowd, but also with the biggest names in golf. Some of the stars that were present are Retief Goosen, Padraig Harrington, Vijay Singh, Trevor Immelman, Michael Campbell, and Angel Cabrera. They were joined by 90 other players in the course. This $ 7.5 million golf tournament was held in Augusta, Georgia. The big budget could only mean big winnings as the tournament promised $ 1, 350, 000 for the champion.
And who won the 73rd Masters Cup? Well, it’s another great April for the Latin American country of Argentina as one of its patriots bagged the title. The accuracy of the Argentine Angel Cabrera wowed the crowd and impressed the commentators in the whole of the four-day tournament. The 40-year old crowd favorite was heavily applauded as he walked to ceremonially claim his title. Nicknamed “El Pato” (The Duck) because he waddles as he walks, this golfer is not new to being a victor. He already won the US Open in the year 2007 at Oakmont.
His appeal to the crowd was among the greatest in the tournament. A jolly and passionate guy, he always got support from the crowd when he needed it most. He owes his great performance to the amazing life that he has. He actually began his golf career at 10, not as a player because he came from a poor family. He worked at the Córdoba Country Club as a caddy and became a good golfer by playing with other caddies.
