\"1463958330786\"Sergio Garcia picked up his ninth career PGA Tour victory by outdueling Brooks Koepka in a playoff at the AT&T Byron Nelson on Sunday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Garcia downed Koepka on the first playoff hole, the par-4 18th, by taping in for his par. Koepka’s drive went out of bounds, and his approach to the green was well short. After he chipped on and two-putted for double-bogey, Garcia made his short par putt to win.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Koepka entered the final round with a two-shot lead over playing partner Jordan Spieth and led Garcia by three. Garcia shot a 2-under 68 Sunday to take the lead in the clubhouse at 15-under, and the pair went to a playoff after Koepka\u2019s 17-foot birdie try for the win on the 72nd hole didn\u2019t fall.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite being just two shots off the lead to begin the day, Spieth never got it going in his home state. Spieth shot a four-over 74 with six bogeys and two birdies. He dropped to T18.<\/strong><\/p>\n
