Sergio Garcia claimed the US Masters title last night, after a dramatic final round at Augusta.
It’s the Spaniard’s first major title in 74 attempts.
Garcia beat Justin Rose in a sudden death playoff on the 18th hole, after both ended up on nine-under par.
The 37 year old birdied the playoff hole, with Rose only bogeying.

It was a dramatic find round for Garcia, who looked to have blown his chance at a first major midway through his round.
Watch back the highlights of his final round here:

The 37-year-old achieved the title on what would have been the 60th birthday of his idol, two-time Masters champion Seve Ballesteros.
And he admits doing it on this day is “amazing”:
"To do it on Seve's 60th birthday... It's something amazing."
