Well, he's done it. He's finally done it.
Sergio Garcia has finally won his first major, and what a major to win as he defeated Justin Rose in a playoff after both men finished at -9 for the tournament.
And both men had chances to win it over 18 holes but some nervy putting on 17 and 18 kept those watching at home tuned in a little longer. When it finally did end, it was thanks to a lovely putt from Garcia when all he needed was to get close and then tap it in.

Danny Willett was on hand to give Sergio what he has been dreaming about his whole life.
