more delight for Garcia and making it a remarkable day of achievement for the country.
Garcia’s most recent victory had come at the 2020 Sanderson Farms Championship.
England’s Tyrrell Hatton finished third, a shot back from the leaders on four under, with American Patrick Reed and South Africa’s Louis Oosthuizen tied for fourth on three under.
“I felt pretty gutted for Lahiri,” Hatton said. “It was a bit awkward on the 18th green with the crowd because they wanted Sergio to win.
“I think everyone thought it would be done there, and unfortunately for Lahiri, they ended up having to go into a play-off.
“From my point of view, nice to have another good week going into the Open.”
