Sergio in dramatic play-off win

A year after being denied the chance to win the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters in dramatic circumstances, Sergio Garcia finally got his hands on the trophy on Saturday.

Sergio in dramatic play-off win

Garcia defeated Finland’s Mikko Ilonen on the third hole of a sudden-death play-off to make up for missing out 12 months ago, when England’s Chris Wood made an eagle on the 72nd hole to beat Garcia and George Coetzee by a shot.

A flawless closing 65 saw Garcia set the clubhouse target of 16 under par, but the 33-year-old crucially missed from eight feet for a birdie on the last and then looked on as Ilonen birdied the 16th and 18th to complete a 66 and force extra holes.
