European Tour Golf Betting Odds: The Castello Masters Costa Azahar is a European Tour golf tournament that was held for the first time in October 2008, taking the slot formerly used by the Mallorca Classic.

The Castello Masters Costa Azahar marks its fourth edition with a return to Club de Campo del Mediterraneo in Castellon, Spain which has been host venue since the inaugural tournament in 2008. The inaugural event was won by Sergio Garcia, who also happened to be the tournament host, having grown up playing golf on the course where his father is the club professional. García finished on a twenty under par total of 264, winning by a margin of three strokes over Peter Hedblom. He was succeeded by Swede Michael Jonzon and last year’s tournament will go down in history as the first European Tour event won by teenage sensation Matteo Manassero. The Italian rewrote the record books as, at 17 years and 188 days, he became the youngest winner in European Tour history, beating the previous record set by New Zealand's Danny Lee, who was 18 years and 213 days old when he won the 2008 Johnnie Walker Classic. Manassero carded a four under par final round to finish 16 under, four clear of Ignacio Garrido.

The Italian also broke the legendary Seve Ballesteros' record as the youngest full European Tour Member by 12 days.

Last Year: Manassero actually trailed by two shots standing on the 13th tee, then played a brilliant third shot from the bunker to a couple of feet and birdied, left his approach stone dead at the next, then holed from 15 feet at the 15th to complete his hat-trick of gains. The tournament was his and he never looked back and coasted to his first win of his young career.

"I couldn't really imagine being a winner in my first year and I just tried to keep my card - but I'm a winner already! It's just fantastic," he said. "I always try to work for this moment and now I've done it it's unbelievable, it's a special moment.

I don’t know if any records will go down at this year’s Castello Masters, but I do know that if you check back in October, Bookmaker Sportsbook will have the odds ready for you to wager on.

2011 Castello Masters Winner - Sergio Captures First Euro Tour Win Since ’08

Sergio Garcia carded all four of his rounds in the 60's (67-63-64-63=257, 27-under-par) en route to a win at the Castello Masters played at the Club de Campo del Mediterráneo in Valencia, Spain. Consider it a home course advantage, but his win here should not be diminished. Nor should the efforts he has undertaken in order to rediscover his game.

After the win, he dedicated his victory to Seve.

2008, Good year for the Spaniard. He won The Players in a playoff and ended the year ranked #2 on the OWGR. Since then, off-course and on-course issues had seen his game decline. While his decline has not taken the dive other players that were in the top 10 at the end of 2008, some were wondering if Garcia could “get it all back” so to speak.

Well, Sergio has slowly emerged from the 80's in the OWGR. Compare what he has faced along with those in the top 10 since the end of ’08.
