Sergio Garcia finally won his first major tournament Sunday, as he held off Justin Rose to win the 2017 Masters championship. Of course, given his history of disappointing final rounds in majors, many many people throughout the day believed that Sergio would collapse and lose; especially when Garcia had a three stroke lead after 9 holes. Well, to be fair, he did collapse, for a few holes, and eventually lost his lead to Rose. But this time, unlike any other, he came back and won the tournament, beating Rose on a playoff hole. Here is a long list of tweets from throughout the day from people who were quite certain Sergio would bottle another one…
Interested to see how Sergio will choke this weekend. #themasters

It's early, so we've got some time to figure out how Sergio is going to melt down …

But we all know it will end with Sergio shuffling off the 18th green a crushed and defeated man.
