Has Sergio Garcia Ever Won A Masters Title?
The 44-year-old Spaniard has just one major title under his name and that is the prestigious Masters title. Back in 2017, he defeated Justin Rose in a playoff to win the prestigious green jacket at Augusta.
Sergio Garcia started his campaign on Thursday, April 6, 2017. He shot a decent 1 under 71 to finish tied for fourth on the leaderboard. He was six strokes behind the solo leader, Charley Hoffman, who shot 7 under 65 in the first round.
By the end of 36-holes, the Spaniard climbed to the top of the table and tied with the likes of Thomas Pieters, Rickie Fowler, and Charley Hoffman. He carded a slightly better score of 3 under 69 on Friday, April 7, 2017, at Augusta National Golf Club.
Garcia finished in the top spot again alongside Justin Rose after the end of the third round as well. He had a 6 under par score after the end of 54 holes at the 2017 Masters. Although Fowler was just one stroke behind the joint leaders, he was like no danger for them on Sunday.
On Sunday, April 9, 2017, Sergio Garcia shot yet another fighting proud of 3 under 69 to get locked in the top spot with Justin Rose. They had to play a sudden playoff at the 18th hole of the Augusta National Golf Club. Finally, it was the Spaniard who listed his first major title and wore the prestigious green jacket. He also earned $1,980,000 as prize money.
The Fireballs GC captain will be making his 25th appearance at the 2024 Masters. He will be entering the field with a determination to cut Friday’s round as he missed that in his previous appearance.
