Sergio Garcia claimed a two-stroke victory in the rain-delayed Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club in North Carolina. It was the Spaniard's first PGA Tour win for four years.
38 players returned to Sedgefield Country Club on Monday to complete the final round of the Wyndham Championship. At the start of play on Monday, Garcia held a one stroke advantage over Tim Clark of South Africa.
Garcia only once looked threatened when a bogey dropped him into a tie at the top of the leaderboard with Clark and Chad Campbell. But he responded forcefully with three straight birdies from the 15th. In the end he cruised to the win and a spot on the European Ryder Cup team.
"I think there were a lot of things going on. It shows a lot to me," Garcia said. "Hopefully, this will secure my spot on the Ryder Cup team, and winning is always nice."
In this, the last tournament before the FedEx Cup playoffs, Heath Slocum was the only man outside the crucial top 125 to play himself into the qualifying spots. He moved up to 124th.
"Every dollar helps," he said.

Fergus is Golf Monthly's resident expert on the history of the game and has written extensively on that subject. He has also worked with Golf Monthly to produce a podcast series. Called 18 Majors: The Golf History Show it offers new and in-depth perspectives on some of the most important moments in golf's long history. You can find all the details about it here.
He is a golf obsessive and 1-handicapper. Growing up in the North East of Scotland, golf runs through his veins and his passion for the sport was bolstered during his time at St Andrews university studying history. He went on to earn a post graduate diploma from the London School of Journalism. Fergus has worked for Golf Monthly since 2004 and has written two books on the game; "Great Golf Debates" together with Jezz Ellwood of Golf Monthly and the history section of "The Ultimate Golf Book" together with Neil Tappin , also of Golf Monthly.
Fergus once shanked a ball from just over Granny Clark's Wynd on the 18th of the Old Course that struck the St Andrews Golf Club and rebounded into the Valley of Sin, from where he saved par. Who says there's no golfing god?
