SHANGHAI, China — Sergio Garcia won the rain-delayed HSBC Champions to take the No. 2 spot in the world ranking behind Tiger Woods, beating Oliver Wilson with a birdie on the second hole of a playoff early Monday.

The Spanish star made a 7-foot birdie putt on the par-5 18th — the only hole used for the playoff at Sheshan Golf Club — after the Englishman missed a 10-footer.

Garcia forced the playoff by holing a 5-foot birdie on 18 to finish with a 4-under 68 and match Wilson at 14-under 274. Wilson, a surprise star for Europe in the Ryder Cup, reached the playoff by saving his par on 18 with a 7-footer for a 70.

The finish moved Garcia into the No. 2 spot in the world rankings behind Tiger Woods, pushing Phil Mickelson to No. 3.

Mickelson, the 2007 champion, shot a 73 to tie for eighth in the $5 million tournament, five strokes behind the leaders.

NEW YORK — Yankees left-hander Andy Pettitte filed for free agency Sunday after repeatedly saying he hopes to return to the club next year.Pettitte went 14-14 last season with a 4.54 ERA — his highest ERA since 1999. General manager Brian Cashman said last week he wants Pettitte to return next season, but the 36-year-old veteran said Friday night he hadn't heard from the team.Pettitte likely would have to agree to a cut from his $16 million salary last season, when he was 2-7 with a 6.23 ERA in his final 11 starts, and missed his last turn because of a sore pitching shoulder. End-of-season tests failed to reveal significant issues.Pettitte is the 169th free agent, and seven more are potentially eligible to file before Thursday's deadline.
