The Spanish
Jon Rahm
, after a seamless Sunday, was crowned champion of the
Augusta Masters
this Sunday , the first golf major of the season.
Rahm, who had started the fourth round at the top of the standings, took advantage of the collapse of the American
Brooks Koepka
- he shared second place with the stainless Phil Mickelson - to head towards the conquest of one of the most precious tournaments and thus get his first
green
jacket
It is the second great conquest of the born 28 years ago in Barrica, Vizcaya, who in 2021 had been crowned at the United States Open.
This is a claim for Rahm, who had had a poor performance in the four majors of 2022 and who from this Monday will once again be number one in the world.
It was, perhaps, a nod to the memory of the unforgettable
Severiano Ballesteros
, his compatriot who just 40 years ago, got his second green jacket.
He is also the first Spaniard to win in Augusta since 2017 when
Sergio García
won the tournament.
