Ames takes title in style

Just 32 days after being demolished by Tiger Woods, former European Tour member Stephen Ames celebrated the biggest win of his career in Florida.

While Sergio Garcia and Vijay Singh, his two closest challengers overnight, fell away horribly, Trinidad-born Ames, runner-up in 2002, lifted his game to new heights and ran away with golf’s richest event – the £5m (€7.2m) Players Championship at Sawgrass.
