Looks like belt buckles are the new big thing on the PGA tour.  Specifically buckles made by Bob Bettinardi.  Bettinardi is know for his hand crafted putters but more an more golfers are now coming to him for custom belt buckles.  Angel Cabrera wore one at the Masters two weeks ago.  Other customers include Sergio Garcia (who ha been wearing them for a long time), Padraig Harrington and Kevin Streelman, who has an endorsement deal with Bettinardi.

While Bettinardi makes some nice looking buckles, none of them will match the awesomeness of the buckles worn by Rory Sabatini.

Angel Cabrera won the 2009 Masters on Sunday in a sudden death play-off at Augusta National.

On Tuesday, Cabrera was welcomed home in Argentina as a hero.

Cabrera addressed the crowd in his hometown of Villa Alende, Argentina, saying, “Green suits me.”  He went on talk about his hard work and laid out his plan to win more majors.  “With sacrifice and work, anything can be done.  Now I’m going for the third major and I’m not going to stop until I win at least five.”

Cabrera captured his first Masters win and his second win in a major (2007 US Open) on Sunday in a 3 hole, sudden-death play-off against Kenny Perry and Chad Campbell.  Cabrera joins South Africa’s Gary Player as the foreign player to win both the US Open and the Masters.
