(AP) — 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.The most eventful of tournaments had a most uneventful finish.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. He cut his deficit two two by the end of the round, pulled ahead on the front nine of the final round, and closed with a 69 for a four-shot victory over Koepka and Phil Mickelson.“We all dream of things like this as players, and you try to visualize what it’s going to be like and what it’s going to feel like,” said Rahm, who had three rounds in the 60s to finish at 12 under for the championship. “Never thought I was going to cry by winning a golf tournament,” he said, “bu...
