Jon Rahm shot 69 to capture his first Masters championship by four strokes over LIV golfers Brooks Koepka and Phil Mickelson, becoming the fourth player from Spain to win a green jacket.
Jon Rahm turned the longest day into his sweetest victory, starting Sunday with a four-shot deficit in the morning chill and finishing in fading sunlight as the fourth Spaniard to become a Masters champion.
Rahm made up two shots on Koepka over the final 12 holes of the rain-delayed third round and started the final round two shots behind. He seized on Koepka's collapse and then surged so far ahead that Mickelson's amazing closing round - the best final round ever at Augusta National for the three-time Masters champion - was never going to be enough.
Rahm won for the fourth time this year - just as Scottie Scheffler did a year ago when he won the Masters - and reclaimed the No. 1 world ranking from Scheffler. Worse yet, Koepka went 22 consecutive holes Sunday without a birdie - from the par-5 eighth hole in the morning of the third round until the par-5 13th in final round. By then, he was three shots behind and Rahm all but sealed it with his next shot.
