World No. 1 Luke Donald's hopes of claiming the PGA Tour money list title faded Saturday with a back-nine wobble in a third-round 70 at the season-ending Disney Classic at Lake Buena Vista, Florida. Locked in a fight with American Webb Simpson for the money crown, the Briton needs to finish no worse than in a two-way tie for second to take top spot and heads into Sunday's final round five shots behind co-leaders Kevin Chappell and Justin Leonard in joint 14th place. Cruising along with four birdies on an unblemished scorecard, Donald had clawed his way up the leaderboard into a share of fourth but slipped back with a double-bogey at the par five 14th followed by a bogey five at 16. The Briton ended his day on a positive note with a birdie at the last but still remained one back of Simpson on nine-under 207. At the same time as Donald stumbled, his playing partner Simpson was mounting a back-nine charge. After reaching the turn at one over, Simpson shifted into top gear carding four birdies on an error-free finish for a three-under 69. Lurking one off the pace is South Korean Kim Bi-o (71) with Australian left-hander Nick O'Hern (70) and Swede Henrik Stenson (72) one shot further adrift on 204. Garcia romps to 11-shot win Former world No. 2 Sergio Garcia ended a near three-year wait for a ninth European Tour success when he claimed the Castello Masters title in emphatic fashion Sunday. The Spaniard, 31, held off a charge by compatriot Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano to win by 11 strokes with a closing eight-under 63 for a 27-under-par 257 four-round total. In a staggering low-scoring final day, a 64 by Fernandez-Castano failed to put a dent in Garcia's winning aggregate, which would have been a tour record but for preferred-lies. It was a second Castello Masters win on his home Mediterraneo course by the tournament's promoter Garcia in four years and gave him a first title since clinching the elite Champions event in China in November, 2008. Leading by eight shots overnight, Garcia looked set for an easy victory, but Fernandez-Castano made sure he could not waver. After a quiet start, Garcia replied to Fernandez-Castano's eagle and five birdies in seven holes with four birdies in six. That kept his rival at a seven-shot arm's length by the time he turned for home. Garcia's foot then stayed firmly on the pedal and four birdies in six holes, after the turn, left no doubt about the destination of the $456,000 first prize.
