Master Meltdown


The competition during the Master's this year was a little different than it has been in years previous. The main draw of the final round in the Master's tourney this year was not necessarily the matchup between Perry and Campbell, or the three way 2 hole playoff, but the excellent play by Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods who both came within a single stroke of claiming the lead for the "Green Jacket" heading into hole #15 - #17.

Kenny Perry, who held the lead going into the final two holes, needed pars or better to claim the title, bogeyed the last two holes to cause a 3-way tie for first. He previously played magnificently birdying 15 holes total over the weekend. The two bogeys at the end, gave Angel Cabrera (the eventual tourney winner) and Chad Campbell a shot for the prize in a 2 hole playoff match. Cabrera eventually won the Master's.

The following article/video are well done by Gene Wojciechowski from ESPN, giving a great summary of the final round at Augusta: Link
