Jon Rahm of Spain won the Masters Golf Tournament by four strokes, rallying from four shots down in the final round Sunday at storm-plagued Augusta National Golf Club.

Brooks Koepka entered Sunday as the leader at 13 under par, but struggled all day. Rahm started the round at 9 under par and finished in a tie for second at 8 under par.

American Phil Mickelson shot a 65 on Sunday to also finish at 8 under par, becoming the oldest golfer at 52 to finish in the top five in the 87 years of the famous tournament.

Rain and storms plagued the event Friday and Saturday, turning the Sunday competition into a marathon where golfers had to complete their third round and then play 18 in the afternoon.
