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.

Koepka vs. Rahm at The Masters


A second-nine 38 on Sunday morning cut Brooks Koepka's four-shot lead over Jon Rahm to two heading to the final round of the Masters at Augusta National.

Koepka bogeyed the 12th and three-putted the 17th for a second blemish on his closing stretch, finishing his third round with a 1-over 73. Rahm made birdies on No. 7 and No. 8 to begin play for the day, but he also struggled on the closing stretch.

The lack of scoring by the lead group opened the door for a charge from Viktor Hovland, as the Norwegian made five birdies in a row on the second nine to sit alone in third just three shots off the pace.

Tiger Woods struggles at The Masters


For a long stretch of his opening round at the Masters, Tiger Woods looked like a man who had only played four competitive rounds of golf in the last eight months.

He sat at 3-over after No. 14, 10 strokes back of the leader and his playing partner, Viktor Hovland. Woods briefly battled back with a curling birdie on the par-5 15th and a brilliant tee shot on the par-3 16th to pour in a second straight. However, he finished with a bogey on the 18th.
