Sergio Garcia finally did it.
After a thrilling back-9 at the Masters, going head-to-head with Justin Rose, Garcia won his first major, with a birdie putt on the first hole of the playoff. The win came in the 74th major of what has otherwise been a strong career on the golf course.
Off the course, Garcia's life is pretty fabulous too. He is married to a golf reporter, loves to play poker, and owns a jet and a race car.
Here's a closer look at the life of the Masters champion:
