Sergio Garcia is having quite the year.

In April he won his first major, winning the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club.

On Friday he finally received his Masters Trophy. And it arrived just in time.

On Saturday he married Angela Akins, in a ceremony in Texas. Akins was a former golfer for the Longhorns.

It was a Masters affair. Garcia wore his green jacket to the couple's reception and bridesmaids were outfitted with Masters-green robes.

Saxophonist Kenny G performed at the reception.

Akins’s cousin, quarterback Drew Brees, was at New Orleans Saints camp and could not attend.
