Spain’s Jon Rahm clinched his second Major title with a four-shot victory over Phil Mickelson and Brooks Koepka on Sunday at Augusta National.

Braving miserable weather conditions and multiple suspensions of play at The Masters, Rahm recorded four birdies against one bogey to card a final round of three-under par 69, successfully beating runners-up Phil Mickelson and Brooks Koepka by four shots to become the fourth Spaniard to don the green jacket.

“It’s pretty incredible, and to play the way I did today, with only one bogey on difficult conditions, I’m really proud of myself on what I did,” said Rahm.

Rahm's triumph at Augusta National occurred on a special occasion as it marked 29 years since fellow countryman Jose Maria Olazabal became the first Spanish golfer to win the title. Furthermore, it coincides with the 40th anniversary of Seve Ballesteros' Masters victory in 1983, whom Rahm regards as his late hero.

“I can’t really say anything else, this one was for Seve, he was up there helping, and help he did,” said the Spaniard.

Brooks Koepka, who owned a four-shot lead heading into Sunday afternoon, closed the tournament with a frustrating three-over par 75 to join Phil Mickelson in joint second.

“I just kind of played average. There are some days you have it, and some days you don’t. Today just wasn’t one of those,” said Koepka.

Mickelson stormed up 18 spots on the leaderboard after a blistering five-under par 67 to become the oldest golfer to finish inside the top five at the event. A three-time green jacket winner, the 52-year-old was all smiles as he signed in eight birdies on the final day.

The 2015 Masters champion, Jordan Spieth, also made a phenomenal showing with a score of six-under par 66 in his final 18 holes to share fourth place with Patrick Reed and Russell Henley.

Following his fourth win of 2023, Rahm returns to be the World No. 1 in the Official World Golf Rankings for the second time this year.
