Garcia at British Open this weekend, his wedding the next

SOUTHPORT, England (AP) Sergio Garcia won’t be wearing his green jacket from Augusta National at his wedding.

What about pouring champagne from a claret jug?

Garcia doesn’t have one yet, though he loves the thought of such possibilities, especially considering that only four months ago, the 36-year-old Spaniard was learning to accept his career might end without a major. Now he is a Masters champion who is soaking up a year of celebration.

He arrived at Royal Birkdale with two big events on the horizon. First up is the British Open, the major where he has had his most consistent success with 10 top-10 finishes, including the last three in a row.
