Gareth Bale was one of the first to send a message of congratulations to Sergio Garcí after the Spaniard won the AT&T Byron Nelson title on the PGA Tour. The Real Madrid star is known for his liking of golf – sometimes too much – wrote on his official Twitter account:

García was quick to reply to the Welsh footballer and made his intentions clear about being in Milan on Saturday to support Bale and Los Blancos:

Before this exchange, Sergio had already been on the social media account to thank everyone who had taken time to wish him well. He also had a special mention for Severiano Ballesteros.

“I’m very pleased to have achieved another victory and equal the number of PGA Tour wins of the legend that is Seve.” His hashtag clarifies the importance of this to him: dream becomes reality.
