Sergio Garcia won his first European tournament in more than three years with his victory in Spain’s Castello Masters this weekend. The win was especially poignant for Garcia as he had dedicated the final round to his ailing countryman, Seve Ballesteros, who is recovering from brain surgery.
Garcia, 28, shot a four-under 67 to best Sweden’s Peter Hedblum by one stroke. Garcia has 18 professional wins, but no majors. He has finished second once in the British Open and twice in the PGA Championship.

The AT&T National Golf Tournament, co-sponsored by the Tiger Woods Foundation, is looking to move the July 4th event to Philadelphia’s Aronimink Country Club. The club’s members will vote on October 15th whether to accept the proposal to host the tournament there in 2010 and 2011. The previous host course, Bethesda’s Congressional Country Club is undergoing renovations to ready it for the 2011 US Open. A July 4th tournament in Philadelphia sounds fitting, somehow.
