Angel Cabrera pulls out thrilling Masters victory

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- And so they came to sudden death, an incongruous designation for a Masters Tournament as lively as any ever played. And then Chad Campbell putted his chance away. And Kenny Perry, who at 48 years 8 months would have been the oldest man ever to win a Masters, knocked a bad drive on the second playoff hole, and there was only Argentina's Angel Cabrera to step into the green coat that is sports' most-sought-after haberdashery.

Dream Masters finish might be left to dreamers

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Dreams are busting up all over the place. Tiger Woods probably isn't going to win his fifth Masters. Not Sunday, anyway. Phil Mickelson won't nail his third. Paddy Harrington can forget taking his third consecutive major.
Tiger Woods needs historic finish

AUGUSTA, GA. -- Tiger Woods' last hole Friday told his 2009 Masters Tournament story as well as anything. He hit into a bunker and then two-putted. That gave him an un-Tigerlike total of 61 putts for these first two Masters rounds.
IN MY OPINION

Larry Mize, Greg Norman turn back the clock at Masters

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- What did it? Was it this onrush of heat after early week conditions that would have given polar bears chilblains? Was a suddenly lovely Thursday the nature's trick that rolled back the years for two Masters, 50-year-old Larry Mize and 54-year-old Greg Norman?
IN MY OPINION

Who is the real Tiger Woods? We might never know

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- He is the greatest athlete the world has never known. And never will. Sure, a sizable chunk of Western civilization will take it in with cheers if Tiger wins his fifth Masters tournament starting Thursday. It would be his 15th major tournament championship, three short of Jack Nicklaus' record.
