"I'm very happy to play the way I played, " Garcia said on the European Tour website after dominating the tournament from the opening day on Thursday when he shot a 65.

"The way I handled some of the key moments and to beat Henrik, we all know how great a player he is."

It was the 37-year-old Garcia's first win since the 2014 Qatar Masters and potentially moved him back into the world's top 10.
