AUGUSTA, Georgia (Reuters) – Spain’s Sergio Garcia ended nearly two decades of major disappointment when he beat England’s Justin Rose in a playoff to win the U.S. Masters on Sunday, donning the Green Jacket on the 60th birthday of his hero, the late Seve Ballesteros.

After 73 majors, four heartbreaking runner-up finishes and years of self doubt, Garcia finally delivered the long awaited title when his 10-foot birdie putt at the first extra hole dropped into the cup at the par-four 18th, triggering a massive cheer from a gallery that had been on the edge of their seats.

Deadlocked after nine holes, the two friends and rivals produced an enthralling back nine showdown worthy of any Masters champion.

Garcia and Rose finished tied on nine under par at the end of regulation and sent the year’s first major to a playoff when both missed birdie putts and settled for pars at the 72nd hole.

It marked the first Masters playoff since Adam Scott beat Angel Cabrera to become the first Australian to wear the Green Jacket in 2013 at Augusta National.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Sergio Garcia curled in that 12-foot birdie putt, the most important shot of his life, and the first one there to congratulate him was the man he’d just vanquished.

Justin Rose embraced Garcia, the man whom he’d played beside and against for more than two decades, and spoke in his ear as the gallery around them roared in a solid wall of sound.

“Nobody deserved this more than you,” Rose said. “I’m very happy for you. Enjoy.”

And then Garcia plunged into the arms of his family, friends, and fans, soon to get his green jacket and the lifelong benefits that come with it. Rose, meanwhile, got a solemn ride to Augusta’s media center and, from there, a tough drive home.

“It’s going to sting, for sure,” Rose said, his gaze steady but his frustration evident.

How do you get past this? How do you come to terms with the fact that you had a two-shot lead with five holes to go, that you had the Masters on a tee? Nothing that Rose did could possibly be considered a choke or a collapse, but still … a break here, a putt there, and we’re having an entirely different conversation right now.

To begin, Rose may not have a green jacket, but he’s already got a major, the one he won in 2013 at Merion. There’s no gray area here: you either are a major champion or you’re not. Rose already was. Garcia, until just hours ago, was not. Both men can talk about how little it matters in the grand scheme of life, but don’t believe them for a second. It matters.

Plus, Rose is 36, and that’s old enough to have a sense of the ebb and flow of pro golf. “You’re going to win majors, and you’re going to lose majors, but you’ve got to be willing to lose them,” he said Sunday evening. “You’ve got to put yourself out there. You’ve got to hit the top of the leaderboard. There’s a lot of pressure out there, and if you’re not willing to enjoy it, then you’re not ready to win these tournaments.”

It takes a special breed of player to be able to thrive under the pressure of major-Sunday golf – think you could hit a five-foot putt with millions watching you? – and Rose seems built for this life. “I loved it out there,” he said after the round, and you believe him. He offered congratulations to Garcia for good shots, and kept his composure when his own game began taking on water.

And he did it all, it’s worth noting, with virtually the entire gallery against him. Rose had been in this position before, standing between Phil Mickelson and a U.S. Open victory. At that tournament, Mickelson and Rose were tied after 10, and the entire home-country crowd wanted Phil to bring home that coveted U.S. Open trophy. Rose had other ideas, and eight holes later had his major win.

“I get my fair share of love and support out there on the PGA Tour in tournaments most of the time,” Rose smiled on Sunday night. “Obviously, people felt strongly that it was his time.”

Rose left the media center in the company of family and friends, rolling out into the warm Augusta night even as Garcia’s raucous green jacket ceremony pulsed on the far side of the clubhouse.

Our lunch hours for this upcoming golf season have changed. We will be open for lunch Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 11:00 – 2:00.We will be able to offer cold sandwiches, soup and hot dogs all week long. 

Our UNLIMITED GOLF SPECIAL started Monday  Apr 3. The $24.50 golf package includes all your golf, cart rental and a cold sandwich with chips and is available Monday – Friday.

While his name has been mentioned as a pivotal figure in a federal insider trading criminal trial, Phil Mickelson shrugged off any hint that will be hanging over him this week or in the run up to The Masters next month — both with his play and his comments.

“I’m not a part of that,” Mickelson said after easily winning his first-round match Wednesday at the Dell Technologies Match Play. “It’s not even a thought.”

But prosecutors and defense attorneys for gambler William “Billy” Walters have said Mickelson would be a key figure in the trial in New York, and the judge hinted to jurors last week the five-time major champion could be called to testify.

Mickelson said that won’t happen.

“I’m out. I won’t be called,” Mickelson said, without saying how he knows that.

“I haven’t even thought about it,” he said. “I don’t think I’m going to say any more.”

Mickelson does not face criminal charges but he previously agreed to return nearly $1 million he earned in 2012 after Walters suggested a stock trade. Prosecutors say Walters encouraged friends, including Mickelson, to buy stock in Dean Foods Co., a Dallas-based company that is one of the nation’s largest processors of milk for retailers.

Far away from the court proceedings and deep in the heart of Texas, Mickelson looked relaxed as he quickly dispatched Si Woo Kim, 5 and 3, as the Korean conceded on the 15th green.

The 46-year-old Mickelson was inconsistent on the undulating course on the edge of Texas hill country in 2016. He didn’t make the knockout stage last year despite winning two of his three matches in group play.

“I think that first match is the most important, because if you’re going to have a chance to get through without winning all your matches you really need to win the first. Then there might be a chance that you can square up in the head to head and get through. The first match is critical.

“Last year I won the first two and ended up getting knocked out,” Mickelson said.

Mickelson hasn’t won since the 2013 British Open, but has two top-10 finishes this year and made this field of 64 as the No. 14 seed. Kim, 22, won the 2016 Wyndham Championship but was the last one into the field, joining after Rickie Fowler announced last week he wouldn’t play in Austin.

Mickelson, who has experience in match play, made quick work of Kim, winning four of the first seven holes. Early mistakes doomed Kim, who followed a double bogey on the second hole with another bogey on No. 3.

Kim’s last chance to stay in the match came with a birdie on No. 11 to get within three. But he was an inch short of another on the windy 14th green on the banks of the Colorado River and Mickelson closed him out.

Mickelson plays Thursday against Daniel Berger, who battled Mickelson in a seesaw match here last year, only to concede near the 18th green. Berger injured his arm when his club struck a rock on a downswing and he withdrew from the tournament the next day.

Berger beat J.B Holmes 7 and 5 on Wednesday.

“I feel good,” Berger said. “I love competing against the best guys in the world and this is another opportunity for me.”
