Garcia clinches automatic spot in Ryder Cup

Sergio Garcia produced a brilliant performance yesterday to clinch a sixth Ryder Cup cap — and leave Ian Poulter needing a ‘wild card’ for the second time in three matches.

Garcia won the Wyndham Championship in North Carolina by two shots after the tournament spilled into a Monday finish because of heavy weekend rain.

He resumed one in front with 14 holes to play, but stood on the 13th tee sharing the lead with American Chad Campbell and South African Tim Clark.
