After a tough battle with Justin Rose, Sergio García rose to the occasion and won his first major title at the age of 37. The competition was tough, as standouts like Jordan Spieth and Rickie Fowler were in the pairing immediately before Garcia and Rose. As well as Rory McilRoy and Adam Scott, it seemed as though anyone could have taken the famed green jacket.
Throughout Sunday, the battle between Rose and García heightened. When one would take two steps forward, the other would take three. The cumulation of the tension came to a head at the 15th hole.
