Today, it's time to examine the 2009 Masters and the significant milestones that occurred at Augusta National Golf Club that year.

He won on the second playoff hole, No. 10, with a par. Campbell made bogey on the first playoff hole, and Perry lost on the second playoff hole with a bogey.

T2) Kenny Perry, Chad Campbell; 12-under 276

5) Phil Mickelson; 9-under 279
Cabrera won $1,350,000, and the total purse was $7,580,452.
There was no low amateur in 2009, as no one made the cut.

No. 7: An additional 10 yards was added to the front of the Masters tees without necessitating a change inlength to the hole.
