AUGUSTA: Jon Rahm delivered tension-packed clutch shots down the stretch on Sunday (Monday in Manila) to win the Masters, capturing his second major title to reclaim the world No.
1 ranking.The 28-year-old Spaniard held firm when 54-hole leader Brooks Koepka fell apart, playing iron-solid and mistake-free golf until the final hole to methodically fend off Koepka and Phil Mickelson, foiled in his bid at age 52 for a seventh major victory.Rahm fired a three-under par 69 to finish 72 holes at Augusta National on 12-under 276 to defeat Koepka and Mickelson by four strokes.
Koepka had a four-stroke overnight lead but struggled from the restart of the third round, going 6-over in a 19-hole stretch without a birdie as Rahm charged.Rahm, two back after 54 holes, sank a 10-foot birdie putt at the third, seized the lead after Koepka made bogeys at the par-3 fourth and sixth, then birdied the par-5 eighth and made a bogey at nine to reach the turn at 10-under.
