Angel Cabrera Relies on FootJoy Golf Shoes to Capture the Masters
Fairhaven, MA – Drama on the back nine during the Masters is just as much a part of the tradition as the azaleas, and this year was no different as Angel Cabrera emerged from the emotional final round to win his first Masters. Trusting the stability and performance of FootJoy Classics Tour golf shoes, Cabrera survived not only the wild final round, but a tense three-man playoff en route to his second major championship. “This is a great moment, the dream of any golfer to win the Masters,” Cabrera said through an interpreter during the green jacket ceremony. “I’m so emotional I can barely talk.”
As the drama unfolded on the back nine at Augusta National with world-class players moving up and down the leaderboard, Cabrera, who won the U.S. Open two years ago, used his major championship experience to birdie three of his last six holes. He finished with a 12-under 276 total that earned him a spot in the first three-man playoff at Augusta National since 1987.
Joining Cabrera in the playoff were two other players who trust the performance and comfort of FootJoy products – Kenny Perry, who had a near hole-in-one on the 16th hole during the final round, wears a SciFlex glove; and Chad Campbell wore FootJoy Classics and a new prototype FootJoy glove this week. In total, 52% of all players in the Masters field wore FootJoy golf shoes.
