Final birdie gives Sergio Garcia Sanderson Farms title, first Tour win since 2017

The putt was short enough that he could make it with his eyes closed.

Sergio Garcia didn't have to sweat much over the final shot that clinched the Sanderson Farms Championship, his first PGA Tour victory since the 2017 Masters. It was only 2 feet 6 inches in length, barely more than a tap-in after the Spaniard hit the shot of the tournament from the final fairway.

But just like with the other putts he stroked this week, Garcia wasn't watching when he rolled in one last birdie putt to close out a final-round 67 to edge Peter Malnati by a shot at the Country Club of Jackson.
