Masters winner Jon Rahm makes touching dedication to golf hero after Augusta triumph

Jon Rahm paid tribute to legendary golfer Seve Ballesteros after holding his nerve to win a first Masters title at Augusta National.

Brooks Koepka held a two-shot lead going into the final round but faded on Sunday as Rahm carded a three-under round of 69 to finish on 12 under par and win by four shots. Koepka shot 75 to finish joint second with veteran Phil Mickleson on eight under.

Rahm, who won his first Major at the 2021 US Open, became the fourth Spanish player to win the Masters. And he did so on what would have been the 66th birthday of his compatriot Ballesteros, who won in 1980 and 1983.
