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.

In a strange coincidence, Ryuji Imada won the AT&T Classic thanks to Kenny Perry’s shot on the playoff hole ending up in the water — the exact same thing that happened to Imada last year.

At first, Perry’s shot looked like it might work out great.  It flew far right of the green, hit a tree, then started rolling back across the green.  However, it had a bit too much speed and kept going until it found its way to the water.

It certainly was an exciting way for Imada to get his first win.  You can read more about how the tournament unfolded over on ESPN.
