Garcia names baby after 13th hole

-

SPANISH golfer Sergio Garcia and wife Angela have give their new daughter the same name as the 13th hole at Augusta National.

Almost a year ago, at the 2017 Masters, Garcia made a vital par at the 13th to keep his bid for his first major alive.

The 38-year-old was two shots behind Justin Rose when he drove into some bushes on the par-five, and was forced to take a penalty drop.

He went on to save par and eventually beat Rose on the first playoff hole to win a major — at the 74th time of asking.

The name of the 13th hole? Azalea — after the bright pink flowers that decorate the course.
