Masters champion Sergio Garcia sealed an emphatic victory at the Singapore Open on Sunday (Jan 21) and said he was "extremely happy" with a rousing start to his 2018 campaign.
The Spaniard carded a three-under-par 68 for a commanding five-shot win as the weather cleared after two days of rain-disrupted play in his first tournament of the year.
Garcia, 38, began the day with a birdie on the first hole and added two more in quick succession before the turn on holes seven and eight.
It was cruise control for the rest of the round as he carded nine straight pars to seal his win with a total 14-under-par 270 at the Singapore Golf Club's Serapong course.
The world number 10 and 2017 European Golfer of the Year had struggled with his putts on Saturday but was on fire as soon as play resumed early Sunday under a hot sun and clear blue skies.
"It's always great to start with a win, to do it here at this golf course against a good field in Asia on conditions that weren't easy," he said
