Sergio Wins and Jamie Plays Well
Sergio Garcia won his first tournament since the Masters, at the same time as giving himself a chance to become the first Spaniard to win the European Tour’s order of merit since Seve Ballesteros. And the fact that Sunday's Andalucia Masters was his sixth Tour title in his homeland and came in the event which Garcia’s charitable foundation promotes only added to his sense of joy. The 37-year-old fended off the courageous challenge of the Dutchman Joost Luiten, who shot a brilliant 66 around Valderrama to finish on 11-under. That left García needing a par on the 18th to secure his third win of the season and carry him back into the world’s top 10, which he held. Prestbury member Jamie Donaldson wasn’t too far off the pace, finishing in 4th place and taking home a large cheque for his efforts.
