Well, it’s about time… Sergio Garcia captured his first European Tour title in three years with a three-stroke victory over 38-year-old Swede Peter Hedblom on his home course at the Castello Masters, moving him up to third in the world rankings in the process!
The Spaniard, who has edged past Vijay Singh into third spot, recorded his first European Tour victory since 2005 at an event that he helped host at the Club de Campo del Mediterraneo – the course he grew up playing and where his father is still the professional.
After he had collected the unusual looking trophy, Garcia was quick to dedicate his success to compatriot Seve Ballesteros who remains in intensive care in a Madrid hospital after a third operation to treat a brain tumour.
“I couldn’t help but think of Seve and I hope this victory helps him to get a little better.”
So while it’s great to see Sergio finding a bit of form, it’s just a shame that it has come a few months too late with the Americans the smug owners of the Ryder Cup.
