A long time coming

At the 74th attempt Sergio Garcia is finally a major champion. Prior to last week's Masters tournament at Augusta National, the Spaniard was widely referred to as one of the best golfers to never have won a major title - but not anymore.

Friends, Ryder Cup teammates and long-term golfing rivals Garcia and Rose shared the overnight lead going into the final round and produced a thrilling battle in their quests for a maiden Green Jacket. After 72 holes there was nothing to separate the two Europeans, and so a sudden-death playoff followed. A wayward drive into the trees by Rose at the first playoff hole paved the way for Garcia to win his first major crown.

Not many people can argue with the outcome; Sergio was the only golfer to card four under-par rounds around one of golf's toughest tests. A fitting champion.
