As if Angel Cabrera wasn’t feeling bad enough about narrowly losing out on a second Masters title last night, someone went and hijacked his Wikipedia page. It was all in good fun though.
The colourful Argentinean lost out to Adam Scott by the narrowest margins on the second play-off hole in Augusta yesterday after missing a putt for birdie by a matter of millimetres before Scott nailed his own birdie putt for a memorable victory moments later.
While Cabrera was incredibly gracious in defeat, one crafty fecker on the internet wasn’t so magnanimous in his description of the reasons for Scott’s victory on Cabrera’s Wikipedia page, saying that the Australian “used a 30-foot high putter supported by training wheels”.
Further down the page under the 2013 season subsection, it was added that “Cabrera was robbed by a magnet inside his ball. Tiger Woods was found to be the cause,” but it was qualified with the line: “Scott then got his putt and won the match so Cabrera came second which is still pretty good.”
Unsurprisingly, Cabrera’s Wikipedia page has since been returned to normal… just in case anyone would have believed such obviously tampered information, of course.
Hat-tip to Alan Roche for giving us the heads up on this one.
