Sergio Garcia wins playoff at Sawgrass

Garcia, who began the final round three strokes behind Goydos, set up the win at the treacherous par-three 17th with a superb tee shot to four feet after the American had ended up in water short of the green.

Although the 28-year-old Spaniard missed the birdie putt, the tap-in for par was good enough to seal the biggest triumph of his career and his first on the PGA Tour since the 2005 Booz Allen Classic.

The pair had finished the 72 regulation holes at five-under-par 283, journeyman Goydos missing a nine-footer to bogey the last for a 74 and Garcia closing with a 71.
