CABRERA LOST FOR WORDS
Angel Cabrera was left awestruck after his return to the Augusta National for the defence of his US Masters title. The return has left the forty year old emotional.
About a year ago, Angel Cabrera won his second major title, which earned him the prestigious right to a much coveted spot in the champions’ locker room of Augusta. Angel Cabrera fought off the challenge of both Kenny Perry and Chad Campbell to win the title.
Angel Cabrera tried to communicate to the reporters exactly how he felt when he walked up to the champion’s locker room for the first time, telling them it was an overwhelming feeling, and that it was very hard to describe what he felt when he saw the names of all the champions in the beautiful champion’s locker room.
He said he looked around and saw the names of Nick Faldo, Seve Ballesteros and Jack Nicklaus and the like and was moved immensely. It was a moment that left him moved and awestruck as he was considered to be an equal of such greats.
In order to arrive at the Augusta National, the players have to drive through the front gates on the famous Washington Road and on to the clubhouse which is along the beautiful Magnolia Lane.
Angel Cabrera said that it was indeed an honour to be back to the Augusta national as the atmosphere makes him feel so special.
He said that he felt very satisfied after walking down the iconic Magnolia Lane and it brought back the memories of him leaving the same place a year back with the jacket on.
It remains to be seen if Angel Cabrera can return to his winning ways in this New Year - though sadly he isn't one of the favourites to retain his title on the latest masters golf betting exchanges.
