Spain's Jon Rahm offered a sense of history — and then he went out and became part of it.

Rahm shot a 3-under-par 69 in the final round to earn his first Masters championship on a long Sunday at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia.

Rahm's victory came on the 40-year anniversary of Spanish great Seve Ballesteros' second Masters championship. April 9 was also Ballesteros' birthday.
