Scott beats Cabrera in a playoff at Augusta

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) a Adam Scott became the initial Australian to win the Masters, beating Angel Cabrera on the 2nd opening of a playoff on a soggy Sunday at Augusta National. The Masters visited a playoff for the next year in a line when Scott and Cabrera made related birdies on the hole. They both made par on the very first extra hole, returning to No. 18, before Scott combined in a for birdie to win it. Scott moved his fists in the air, screaming toward the dull, darkening sky, and accepted caddie Steve Williams, who was simply on the case for 13 of Padraig Harrington ' 14 main games. For Scott, this is the first, creating for his major turmoil at last year's British Open, where he bogeyed the last four holes to drop by a stroke to Ernie Els. "I found my way today," Scott said. Scott, playing in the next-to-last class, made a putt at 18 and celebrated with Williams as though it were over. Cabrera, in the last team, watched from the fairway knowing he had going to an excellent picture. He did. Cabrera's baseball pulled up 3 feet from the glass for a straightforward birdie that sent both participants to the playoff tied at 9-under 279. "That is how golf is," said Cabrera, who had been refused his next important concept. "I had some issues through the course but I got back." Still another Australian, Jason Day, had the cause until he bogeyed the 17th and 16th holes. He finished two shots from the playoff at 281. Woods, the overpowering favorite, came up short again. He has maybe not won the Masters since 2005, or any major champion since the 2008 U.S. Available. Woods struggled with the putter on leading side, then missed a birdie try at No. 16 which could have put some stress on the leaders. "I had difficulty getting accustomed to the speed," said Woods, who finished in a tie for last at 283. "Every putt I left small for possibly the first eight holes."
