Jon Rahm wins Masters for second major title, moves to No. 1
Jon Rahm, who started the day 4 shots back of leader Brooks Koepka, won the Masters on Sunday for his second major title.
Rahm carded a final-round 3-under 69 that left him at 12 under on the week, 4 shots ahead of second-place Koepka and Phil Mickelson.
With his win Sunday, Rahm moves from No. 3 to No. 1 in the Official World Golf Rankings. Rahm overtakes Scottie Scheffler, marking the first time ever that the current world No. 1 will put the green jacket on the player replacing him.
The victory brings Rahm's PGA Tour earnings this season to $13.29 million, the second-most single-season earnings in PGA Tour history, behind only Scheffler's $14.05 million last year.
