I hate to say it, but Perry really choked. You could see after his shot on 16 he thought he had the thing won. He just needed to par one of the final two holes and he would have.

Campbell should also be kicking himself. He had 155 from the fairway on the first playoff hole and really just needed to hit the green. Missing the four-footer to extend the playoff was very un-clutch.

I don’t think Tiger lost the tournament on holes 69-72 so much as he lost it on holes 1-68. He obviously needed to make a run of it on Friday or Saturday, not wait until the last day. As we know, that’s how he tends to win these things. Why tinker with success?

Even his Sunday target number of -11 wasn’t good enough, as it turned out. Sure, he left some strokes on the course, but so did everyone else. (I thought the eagle putt on 15 was a good putt; it just didn’t go in. It wasn’t exactly a gimme.) Overall, he and Phil played amazingly well to make it interesting.

As for Phil, while he may have edged out Tiger yesterday, my guess is that Tiger got a better night’s sleep. Dunking the ball at 12 and missing the short putts down the stretch absolutely did Mickelson in. It’s great that he made the spectacular shots to shoot 30 on the front 9, but he shot himself in the foot by blowing a short tee shot on 12 and two short putts that would have allowed him to win by two strokes.

Overall, a great finish to the tournament.

The Master truly lived up to it’s expectation as one of the best tourney. The finales was intense.

What is overall thought on Cabrera’s victory?
