DOHA, Qatar -- Sergio Garcia birdied the third extra hole to beat Mikko Ilonen in a playoff Saturday and win the Qatar Masters for his second victory in three events. Daniel Norris Tigers Jersey . Garcia entered the round three shots behind overnight leader Rafa Cabrera-Bello but birdied six of his last 12 for a 7-under 65, forcing Ilonen to make an 18-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to force the playoff with a 66. They both finished on 16-under 272. Garcia missed an 8-foot birdie putt on the last that would have given him the win in regulation, and then couldnt make an eagle putt for the victory on the first playoff hole. The Spaniard and Ilonen both had birdies on the second extra hole as well before Garcia sealed the victory with a tap-in birdie at the third to Ilonens par. "I started the day thinking if I can shoot a 6 or 7 under, I can have a chance," Garcia. "Im very happy to be able to win it." Cabrera-Bello only managed a 69 and fell to a tie for third with Thorbjorn Olesen of Denmark (68). Garcias victory helped make up for last years disappointment in Doha, when he finished runner-up after Englands Chris Wood eagled the last hole to claim his first European Tour win. It also came on the heels of his victory at the Thailand Golf Championship in December, when he had his girlfriend Katharina Boehm caddie for him. Boehm was among the first to congratulate him after he sealed the win on Saturday. "When things off the golf course are on good terms it is a little easier to concentrate when you dont have too many things in your head," Garcia said. "I am very fortunate with Kathy and with my family and all those around me, so its great to be playing well and to be in this winning situation with the goal now to keep improving. "I still feel like I can do better and that is the goal." Ilonen was seeking just his third tour victory after ending a six-year winless drought last June at the Nordea Masters. "I came up two shots short of my target in regulation thinking a 64 would win outright, but a 66 was good enough for the playoff," the Finn said. "But Sergio was a bit better than me." Olesen had the chance to join the playoff but missed his eight-foot eagle putt on 18. European No. 1 Henrik Stenson finished strongly with birdies on his last four holes for a 67 that put him in a tie for 28th -- perhaps a good sign at the end of a disappointing tournament ahead of next weeks Dubai Desert Classic. Francisco Rodriguez Jersey . Djokovic beat Stanislas Wawrinka of Switzerland 6-1, 6-4 Friday, while Federer overcame Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina 6-3, 4-6, 6-3. Top-ranked Rafael Nadal also moved into the semifinals with a 6-4, 6-1 victory over Richard Gasquet of France and will play defending champion David Ferrer, who rallied past Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic 4-6, 7-5, 6-3. Cameron Maybin Grey Jersey . Weaver, 35, has six assists in 55 games this season but is more known for his defensive prowess. In the past, Weaver has been considered something of a specialist against Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals.TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bays struggling offence suffered another setback Monday: Receiver Mike Williams needs surgery to repair a hamstring injury and will miss the remainder of the season. Williams was placed on injured reserve when the Bucs returned to practice after having the weekend off. The fourth-year pro who signed a six-year, $40.25 million contract in July, had 22 receptions for 216 yards and two touchdowns in six games. "Mike had a hamstring injury that he tried to play through, but just wasnt effective doing it," coach Greg Schiano said. "Hell get surgery now, and itll be repaired. Hell be fine, but itll be a little bit of a recovery." Losing Williams is yet another blow to the winless Bucs (0-7), whove struggled offensively in the wake of a messy split with quarterback Josh Freeman and injuries to running back Doug Martin and guard Carl Nicks, who are both out indefinitely. Williams injured his right hamstring against Arizona on Sept. 29. He was inactive against Philadelphia on Oct. 13, but played the past two weeks and had a combined seven catches for 52 yards and no TDs. A year ago, Williams teamed with Vincent Jackson to give Tampa Bay one of the top receiving tandems in the league. Jackson is off to another strong start with 41 receptions for 623 yards and four TDs. However, the sore hamstring hindered Williams ability to do what hes done best since entering the league as a fourth-round draft pick in 2010 -- make leaping catches over defenders downfield. While Jackson was putting together his fourth 1,000-yard season in 2012, Williams averaged a career-best 15.8 yards per reception on the way to finishing with 63 catches for 996 yards and nine TDs. "After getting all the information from the doctors, he was allowed to try (to play)," Schiano said. "He did for two weeks, but wasnnt really himself. Willie Horton Jersey. He couldnt do the things he needs to do to be effective, so its time to get surgery." Before sitting out this months game against the Eagles, Williams had not missed a game in his career. Hes started 52 of 54 games hes appeared in and has 215 receptions for 2,947 yards and 25 touchdowns. Williams going on IR leaves rookie quarterback Mike Glennon with just one established receiver, Jackson, whos had 100-yard games in two of the third-round draft picks four starts. Tiquan Underwood likely will move into the starting lineup, and Williams absence figures to create more playing time for Chris Owusu, Eric Page and Skye Dawson, a trio of young, unproven receivers. "This is a great opportunity. Im just going to try to run with it," Underwood, a fifth-year pro with 43 career catches, said. "Mikes been banged up for a better part of the year, so I dont think its going to be that much of a change," Schiano said. "Relative to what could have been, sure. Mikes a very fine player. But thats part of life in the NFL. The next man will get the opportunity, and well go with that." Tampa Bay is next to last in the NFL in total offence, averaging 297.7 yards per game. The leagues only other winless team, Jacksonville, is last. Schiano said he does plan to tweak some changes to try to help Glennon, whos thrown 181 passes -- more than any player in league history through the first four games of a career. "When youre 0-7 you look at every single thing, and Im sure were going to be stronger for it moving forward," the coach said. "I think weve put Mike is a bad spot. Hes thrown too many passes. ... We shouldnt put him in that spot as coaches," Schiano added. "Weve re-evaluated that and were going to try to p
