US PGA - Sergio Garcia won the last roll in Jackson

The final day of the battle in Jackson, the capital of the state of Mississippi, was very exciting, and the special curiosity of the endgame was given by the fact that Garcia battled for a first place rival who had already finished two hours when he reached the last hole.

The 2015 winner of the race, Peter Malnati, was three strokes behind Garcia after three days and placed 13th in an eight-tie, but on Sunday he made 63 strokes on the 18-stage track and then waited at the clubhouse to see if his brilliant performance would be enough. for the second PGA triumph of his career.

The 33-year-old American player led Garcia by two punches when his European rival on hole 14 equaled with one eagle (two better than the base shot). After that, the tie remained until the 18th course, where the Spanish golfer, after a parade pre-hit, rolled into the hole from just under half a meter, and with his birdie (one better than the base stroke number) he won the 11th US PGA Triumph of his career.

After three and a half years, Sergio Garcia won the PGA competition again after winning the 2017 US Masters. He received $ 1.188 million (HUF 364 million) for his current success.
