After days of rain and dark clouds, the final round was sunny and clear with nothing but blue skies and green fairways providing a brilliant backdrop for Jon Rahm’s win.
Mickelson, who withdrew from last year’s Masters Tournament as he took criticism for joining LIV Golf, earned a measure of redemption from fans by finishing in a tie for second place.
Rahm trailed Brooks Koepka by two strokes at the start of Sunday’s final round but surged as Koepka faltered to claim his second major tournament victory.
