Spain's Sergio Garcia earns a first professional win in four years as he edges out Anirban Lahiri in a play-off at LIV Golf Andalucia.
Home favourite Sergio Garcia earned his first professional win in four years as he got the better of India's Anirban Lahiri in a play-off at LIV Golf Andalucia.
The Spaniard shot a final-round 66 at the Real Club Valderrama to make up seven strokes on overnight leader Lahiri and finish in a tie on five under. A short par putt at the second hole of the sudden-death play-off was enough to secure Garcia his first LIV win and prize money of £3.15m.He spoke about it being a big Sunday for Spanish sport, saying: "Not only that, but also Carlos winning. Alcaraz won today ."It would be an unbelievable weekend. But I played well, played well in the play-off. It's just a tough hole. But so happy.
"I felt pretty gutted for Lahiri," Hatton said. "It was a bit awkward on the 18th green with the crowd because they wanted Sergio to win. "I think everyone thought it would be done there, and unfortunately for Lahiri, they ended up having to go into a play-off.Could you put your ego to the side to win a big prize?'Frawley redemption at heart of famous Ireland win'
