Sergio Garcia became the second Spaniard after Alvaro Quiros to win the Qatar Masters when he edged Finland's Mikko Ilonen in a thrilling playoff at the Doha Golf Club on Saturday.

With the light fading fast, Garcia clinched the title with a birdie after both players had failed to break the deadlock in their first two attempts on the par-5 18th hole.

However, when they started all over again for the third time, Ilonen found the bunker and misread his putt from 12 feet to par the hole, while Garcia two-putted for birdie to win his 11th title on the European Tour.
