Garcia outlasts Goydos for Players Championship
by FOXSports.com
Sergio Garcia ended the longest victory drought of his career Sunday by making a clutch par putt to force a playoff, and then adding another par on the TPC Sawgrass' notorious island green 17th hole to defeat Paul Goydos in The Players Championship.
It was the first time The Players had gone to a playoff in 21 years, and the first time it started on the famous island green hole.
Goydos, the first player to hit into the water when the tournament began Thursday, splashed again when his wedge came up short. Garcia hit his shot on dry land and watched it roll to 4 feet.
He missed the birdie putt, but completed the par for the victory.
