Cabrera wins the Masters
While Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson had a nice duel going, Chad Campbell, Angel Cabrera and Kenny Perry positioned themselves without the same fanfare and applause and got into a playoff. Cabrera won his first Masters title with a par on the second playoff hole. He has won only two PGA Tour events, and both are majors. He won the U.S. Open in 2007 and now the Masters. Cabrera is 39, although don't you think he looks a heck of a lot older than 39?

Jill Painter,
You said in your blog, about Angel Cabrera, the spelling of whose name you may want to check before typing "don't you think he looks a heck of a lot older that 39?".
Your slight of Mr. Cabrera impresses me as being sour grapes. You are just upset that a foreigner beat a litany of American competitors, which he did fair and square. You Americans are all the same, if someone one ups you your true insecurity is revealed from behind your magnanimous, egomaniacal facade.
How would you like it if after one of your greatest achievements someone where to make an inappropriate comment about your age or what it appears to be?
Additionally, his two PGA wins (which you dismissed as being "only" two) is a lot more than many on the tour.
Show some professionalism and due respect for a person who has truly accomplished something great.

Cabrera's two major championship wins are amazing accomplishments. I have nothing against Angel Cabrera.
