Jon Rahm wins The Masters


A week that started with a four-putt double-bogey ended in a green jacket for Jon Rahm, as the Spanish superstar used a Sunday charge to pull away from Brooks Koepka and the field to win the Masters.

Rahm entered the final round two shots behind Koepka but fired a final-round 3-under 69 to erase the deficit and cruise to a four-shot victory. Koepka faltered over the final day, shooting a 3-over 75 to finish tied for second.

Phil Mickelson turned back the clock with an epic run up the leaderboard to sit beside Koepka after a closing 65. In doing so, the 52-year-old became the oldest player in Masters history to finish in the top five.
