While Tiger Woods' withdrawal after a poor first round on Thursday was the biggest headline to emerge from the Dubai Desert Classic, Sergio Garcia has a perfect weekend and pulled off a wire-to-wire victory over Henrik Stenson.

Garcia carded a bogey-free round of 69 to beat Stenson by three strokes, winning for the first time in eight appearances at the tournament. Garcia had previously never finished in the top 10.

It's Garcia's first win since the AT&T Byron Nelson last May, and he'll be taking home a gigantic trophy.
