Sergio Garcia Wins AT&T Byron Nelson in a Playoff

Meet Sergio Garcia - Winner at ATT Byron Nelson in Dallas

Sergio García shot 63-66-68-68 to close out the tournament at 15 under. Meanwhile, Brooks Koepka shot a final-round 71 on the par-70 course to reach the playoff with García.

Koepka’s double bogey on the first extra hole meant Sergio’s par was good enough to win the tournament for the second time in his career (2004).

With the victory, García earned $1.314 million and his first PGA Tour win since 2012, when he won the Wyndham Championship. The TPC Four Seasons Resort course gave golfers the opportunity for a lot of low scores, but no player making the cut and finishing the tournament scored over par. 

Several golfers shot all four rounds in the 60s, including García, Matt Kuchar and fourth-place finishers Spencer Levin and Tim Wilkinson. 

Five of García’s PGA wins have come in playoffs, including his 2004 victory in this event. He now has just two PGA Tour wins since 2008 and three since 2005. For a golfer everyone expected to collect majors throughout his career, García has struggled as he’s aged. 

No longer the wide-eyed, excitable teenager everyone saw at the 1999 PGA Championship, García shows the grind that professional golf can be on even the world’s best players.

Congratulations Sergio Garcia on your ATT Byron Nelson win.
