Sergio Garcia won the European Masters by a stroke Sunday, chipping in for a birdie on the 16th hole in a 3-under-par 68 to hold off Sweden's Peter Gustafsson.
Garcia entered the day ahead by a stroke and finished at 14-under 270. The Spaniard's only other title this year was at the Booz-Allen Classic on the PGA Tour.
Gustafsson posted the day's best round, a 64 that left him at 271. Paul Casey of England (66) was third at 272, followed by defending champion Luke Donald of England (69) and Garry Houston of Wales (70) at 273.
Garcia had a stretch of four birdies in five holes. His 22-yard chip-in on the 16th finished off Gustafsson. The Swede challenged by making five putts between 10 and 20 feet.
"I found my putting stroke on the practice green yesterday," Gustafsson said. "Everything got better as the week went on."
Casey is gradually pulling out of a prolonged slump in which he missed seven cuts starting with the Masters in April.
"I can't be too frustrated," he said. "I feel I am getting back to where I want to be."
Garcia dedicated the title to a close friend who died Friday from lung cancer.
