Sergio Garcia Hits Walk-Off Hole-in-One to Advance in WGC Match Play Championship

After three sudden death playoff holes could not decide a winner, Sergio Garcia decided it was time to call game.

On the fourth playoff hole against Lee Westwood, Garcia hit a hole-in-one on the 160-yard par three to win his group at the WGC Match Play Championship, advancing to the round of 16.

The event, which is held at the Austin Country Club in Austin, Texas, puts golfers into groups of four, with the winner advancing to the next round. Everyone plays each other over the course of three days, and with Garcia and Westwood tied after three rounds, they had to play on to settle the score.
