It was 40 years to the day Seve Ballesteros won at Augusta National and Jon Rahm 's nerveless Sunday at the Masters was the perfect tribute to his mercurial icon.
On what would have been his 66th birthday, Rahm felt the spirit of Seve in a dominant four-shot victory and dedicated his first Green Jacket to the legendary Spaniard.
The three-under final round 69 to fend off threats from LIV Golf renegades Brooks Koepka and Phil Mickelson marked an incredible recovery from a nightmare four-putt double bogey on his very first hole of the tournament on Thursday.
