WATCH: Sergio Garcia's moment of a lifetime

The Spaniard kept his nerve at the first playoff hole to secure an historic win.

AFTER MISSING A short birdie putt just minutes earlier – a slip that ensured a playoff with Justin Rose – Sergio Garcia was calm and composed as he stepped up to the same green and the same pin to try, again, and win his first ever major.

After his tee-shot put him in immediate trouble, Rose struggled to make up the lost ground, subsequently missed his putt for par and had to make do with a bogey.

Garcia had two shots to win.

But all he needed was one.

Sweet 16! Matt Kuchar conjured a moment to remember during his final round at Augusta

Meet Jeff Knox: the almost-mythical figure at The Masters who plays but doesn’t complete

    @flaming mo: theres no fix for it now. The damage has been done with the funding. Would take another 20 years to fix it

    @Mel Roberts: So by your reckoning Dublin should win all the Leinster championships in football, hurling, ladies football and camogie for at least the next 20 years…. Hope you’re right and there’s more good times ahead!!!

    @Mel Roberts: please explain your logic, if true Dublin would be cleaning up in Hurling also. Fact is, last Minor All Ireland success was 1965. Under 21 have no All Ireland success

    @clarkson: They have improved no end in hurling terms so your argument doesn’t really stand up!

    @Mel Roberts: think Munster gets a free pass compared to criticism of Leinster , I get that Dublin are great, and have advantages, but that doesn’t excuse the incompetence in Kildare and Meath,

    Kildare dominant minor football team in Leinster in recent years. Dublin have only won one MFC title in last 5 years. Underage superiority – I don’t think so.
