Memorable Masters ends with Rahm slipping into green jacket

Associated Press  

AUGUSTA, Ga. — By the time Jon Rahm walked up the 18th fairway on Sunday, and made like his late idol Seve Ballesteros with a brilliant par save to finish off the Masters, the fact that the Spaniard would be soon slipping into the green jacket had long been decided. That was owed to the brilliance of Rahm, who began Sunday four shots back of Brooks Koepka as players arrived early to finish a third round that had been suspended by weather. “There is always going to be and should always be a place for historical events like this, but it’s OK to have a little bit of different and variety in the game of golf.” The barbs traded leading up to the Masters — Fred Couples calling Mickelson a “nutbag,” Sergio Garcia ripping the PGA Tour in return — seemed to be forgotten when Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Tom Watson hit the ceremonial first shots Thursday. He trailed Koepka by two when they returned to Augusta National early Sunday to finish their third rounds, and cut the deficit in half almost immediately.
