SOTOGRANDE, Spain (AP) — Sergio Garcia held off fellow Spaniard Miguel Angel Jimenez to win the Andalucia Masters by one shot on Sunday for his second straight European Tour victory.
Garcia shook off two early bogeys with two birdies on a flawless back nine to card an even 71 and finish with a 6-under total of 278.
Jimenez had seized the lead early during the final round but dropped shots on the 13th and 15th holes before a pair of birdies pressed Garcia until the last hole on the Valderrama course.
The 31-year old Garcia won the Castello Masters by 11 strokes last weekend to end a nearly three-year title drought. He had finished runner-up three times at Valderrama.
