Lowest-score trophy second best for Garcia

Sergio Garcia clinched the Vardon Trophy yesterday for the lowest scoring average on the PGA Tour in 2008, but that was scant consolation after another disappointing loss, this time at the Tour Championship.

The Spaniard suffered his third tough defeat in less than three months when Colombian Camilo Villegas came from five shots behind in the final round before winning a play-off at the first extra hole at East Lake.
