Shanghai, China (My Sportsbook) - Sergio Garcia birdied the second playoff hole Monday to defeat Ryder Cup teammate Oliver Wilson and win the HSBC Champions.

Garcia closed with a four-under 68 to finish at 14-under-par 274. Wilson, who led after the third round, posted a two-under to join Garcia at minus-14 and force the playoff.

On the first extra hole, No. 18, Garcia and Wilson both two-putted for par.

They played the 18th again and Wilson had nearly the same putt as he did the first time around. Wilson missed the 15-foot birdie putt left of the hole.

Garcia was 12 feet out on the back fringe. He rolled the putt in for birdie and his eighth European Tour win.

The Monday finish was needed after Friday's play was completely washed out and there was a long delay Saturday as well.

"It's been a long week. Finally we got two nice, decent days to play. It was great," said Garcia, who has won twice in the last three events. "I think that was my fourth playoff this year. I think I was 2-2, so I'll take that."

Adding to the significance, Garcia now leads the Race to Dubai standings and passed Phil Mickelson to become the second-ranked player in the world.

"I'm so proud to win. No. 2 in the world, so I am very happy," Garcia said. "Great week. It feels awesome to be the first leader to the Race to Dubai. I guess that will go down in history. It's always nice to achieve something like that."

Wilson, who hasn't won on the European Tour, was again a tough-luck loser. He finished second four times last year and with this loss drops to 0-3 in playoffs on the European Tour.

Peter Hanson eagled the 13th and birdied the 16th to tie for the lead. He closed with a six-under 66 to tie for third at minus-13. He was joined there by former U.S. Open champion Geoff Ogilvy (70).

Henrik Stenson ended alone in fifth at 11-under-par 277 after a final-round, one-under 71. Adam Scott and Charl Schwartzel shared sixth at minus-10.

Wilson led by one at the start of the final round and parred his first four holes over two days. He stumbled to a bogey on the fifth to slide into a share of the lead with Mickelson at 11-under.

The Englishman pitched his third to three feet at the eighth and kicked that in for birdie. He stood at 12-under and was one shot clear of Garcia.

Garcia birdied the second on Sunday, but stumbled to a bogey on three before play ended on Sunday. He returned to Sheshan International Golf Club on Monday and slipped two back with a bogey on the fifth.

The Spaniard rebounded with a birdie on the seventh and made it two straight with a three-foot birdie putt on eight.

Garcia rolled in a seven-footer for birdie on nine to make it three in a row and join Wilson at minus-12.

Wilson parred five straight from the ninth, while Garcia parred four in a row from the 10th. Garcia briefly took the lead with a short birdie putt on the par-five 14th.

However, Wilson also birdied 14 to forge at tie at 13-under. For the week, Garcia was five-under on the 14th with an eagle and three birdies, while Wilson played the hole in four-under with four birdies.

Wilson reclaimed the lead when he sank a nine-foot birdie effort on the 16th. Garcia tied him at 14-under with a six-foot birdie putt at 18. Wilson got up and down for par from a bunker on 17, then two-putted from long range at 18 to force the playoff.

Mickelson, who won this title last year, shared eighth with Prayad Marksaeng at nine-under-par 279. Mickelson shot one-over 73, while Marksaeng closed with a two-under 70.
