sergioSpain’s Sergio Garcia ended his long wait for a first major title with a thrilling play-off win over England’s Justin Rose at the US Masters.

Both players finished on nine under par after 72 holes at Augusta, setting up a sudden-death play-off on the 18th.

37-year-old Garcia, holed a birdie putt for victory after his European Ryder Cup team-mate could only manage a bogey.

Garcia finally won one of golf’s four majors – the Open Championship, the US Open and the US PGA Championship are the other three – at his 74th attempt after 22 previous top-10 finishes.

He became the third Spaniard to win the Masters – after Seve Ballesteros and Jose Maria Olazabal – on what would have been the 60th birthday of Ballesteros, who died in 2011.
