Following his Monday practice round, Gary Player, the
Master’s first international Champion, announced that this, his 52nd
appearance, would be his last. It was a touching end for the South African,
whose career in Augusta
featured three Green Jackets.
So, as he passed the torch to the record 55 international
players that helped comprise the 2009 Tournament field, it was only fitting
that the 73rd Masters ended with Argentinian Angel Cabrera walking
away with his first Green Jacket.
The Official DVD of the 2009 Masters Tournament tells the
story of the man who became the Tournament’s first South American Champion by
rallying with three late birdies on Sunday to make a three-man playoff. Be
there to witness Cabrera’s amazing par save on the first extra hole and
experience the joy he felt when he tapped in for the win one hole later.
Included is the drama that unfolded many groups in front of
the leaders, as Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson flirted with the lead during
their rounds, only to fall from contention in the closing holes.
From the excitement and fun of Wednesday’s Par 3 Contest to
Cabrera’s emotional final putt, the Official DVD of the 2009 Masters chronicles
the competition and tradition of this historic week from Augusta, Georgia.
