Photographs From Sunday’s Final Round at the Masters


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.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — The weather on Saturday at the Masters Tournament threw the schedule into chaos as rain and wind drove golfers off the course at Augusta National Golf Club in mid-afternoon when conditions became too poor to continue play. That meant Sunday — usually the start of the final round — began with the finish of the third round before advancing to the big finish: Jon Rahm capturing his first green jacket and second major tournament win.

The excellent weather on Sunday provided a crystal clear backdrop for the highs and lows of the final round at the Masters, the first men’s golf major tournament of the year.

Viktor Hovland was tied for the lead after the first round and finished tied for seventh at six under par.
Xander Schauffele shot below par in three of his four rounds, including one under on both Saturday and Sunday.

Russell Henley tied for fourth after shooting under par in each of his final three rounds.
