It was at that point both realized they were waiting for each other — "Oh, sorry," Perry said, noticing he was away — signaling a conclusion to just one of the waiting games that ended at the 2009 Masters.
On a heavenly Easter Sunday at Augusta National, golf fans stopped waiting for the roars and the fun to return, stopped waiting for the choir to come back to church; Argentina, meanwhile, stopped waiting for the green jacket it first set eyes on 31 years ago, when Roberto De Vicenzo inadvertently signed for a higher score and finished second by a stroke. "After what happened with Robert (in 1968), golf increased a lot in Argentina," fellow Argentine Andres Romero told Golfweek through a translator, biting his nails while watching his friend survive a sudden-death playoff with Perry and Chad Campbell. "And I can't imagine what will happen now with this victory with golf in Argentina."
Cabrera, the happy-go-lucky 39-year-old from Cordoba, Argentina, will bring the green jacket home soon — along with one crazy tale of just how he brought this one home.
