Sergio Garcia has won the Thailand Golf Championship Thailand Golf ChampionshipThe Spaniard, after developing an extraordinary trajectory throughout the four days of play, was the winner of the Asian Tour event, after developing an extraordinary trajectory throughout the four days of play. The Spaniard faced the last round with four strokes of income and was able to maintain this advantage delivering a card of 68 strokes (-4) for a total of -22 in the final round. Sergio, who curiously had won for the last time a year ago in another Asian Tour event, the Iskandar Johor Open in Malaysia, pinned the ball on the 1st tee with 198 strokes (-18), which allowed him to play calmly. His solidity and great form did the rest. Six birdies and two bogeys ended the event.
Not even the efforts of Sweden’s Henrik Stenson, who also shot 68 strokes, were enough to put the Spanish player in trouble. In the end, Sergio Garcia shot 222 and the Nordic player 218. Third was the young Frenchman Alexander Levy, eight strokes off the lead (214).
With rounds of 68, 65 and 65 strokes, the Spanish golfer stood out in the standings in a remarkable way, accumulating four strokes ahead of Henrik Stenson and the Indian Anirban Lahiri. He even signed a hole-in-one on his second day at the Amata Spring Country Club course (Chonburi, Thailand), where the 2013 Pro Spain Program player Carlos Pigem (+1) also made the cut.
With this victory in the Thailand Golf Championship, Sergio increases a sensational record that includes 8 tournaments in the American Tour, 13 in the European Tour, 3 in the Asian Tour, 1 Seve Trophy and 4 Ryder Cups, which makes him one of the best players in the world.
