One of the most prestigious championship golf competition in the world, the Masters in US came to a fascinating conclusion.  The 73rd Masters saw some great competition, the one that dominated the best part of the event on Sunday final rounds was the duel between Phil Mikelson and Tiger Woods.  Tiger Woods who has only recently return to competitive golf after a long absence due to injury eventually finished join 6th wit Phil Mickelson but the star and winner of the day was Angel Cabrera.

Angel Cabrera of Argentina beat Kenny Perry and Chad Campbell in a play-off to win the coveted green jacket. Perry, 48, looked a certain winner following a birdie at 16, but his game declined as he bogeyed each of the last two holes to finish on 12 under.

With Campbell (69) eliminated at the first extra hole, Cabrera (71) parred the second, the 10th, to win – after a wild approach from Perry (71).
