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.
