Tranlate this title A good round from Jon Rahm in his farewell in spanish

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. That’s why, even though it wasn’t the week he dreamed of, you can always finish a tournament with a smile. Jon Rahm gave it his all this Sunday on the final day of the Masters at Augusta, and although his desired goal—fighting for the title—was no longer attainable, he did manage to post his best performance of the week at Augusta National.

Rahm finished his fourth round under 70, something he hadn’t managed all week. To be exact, it was a 68, a great -4 on the par-72 course, which left him at +1 overall after reaching the 18th hole at even par. A final bogey prevented him from achieving that goal, but Jon is now just outside the provisional top 40, waiting to see how far his gain will take him. He carded seven birdies and three bogeys in his closing round.

Rahm, results

Rahm started with problems in his long game. The first hole didn’t start well for him, but a great approach shot from the right side of the green allowed him to save par. But the trend soon changed: a great approach shot on the par-five 2nd from off the green and a huge tee shot on the par-four 3rd, which took him almost to the target, allowed him to create good putts that he didn’t miss, resulting in two birdies for the day.

His momentum seemed to stall after, following a par on the 4th, he made two consecutive bogeys. On the par-four 5th, Rahm overshot his second shot, made a poor approach shot on his third, and was forced to putt from a long distance. The result was a first bogey, followed shortly after by a second on the par-three 6th after a tee shot off the fairway, a chip shot, and a commitment for par that didn’t go in.

But what seemed like a critical moment in the day, Rahm transformed into momentum. Jon turned a difficult tee shot on the par-four 7th into a great second shot to the pin, followed by a birdie. He also took advantage of the par-five 8th after a very good approach from the rough behind the green and finished the first half of his round with the shot of the day on the 9th: holing out for birdie from the lower part of the rough near the hole.

In total, five birdies and two bogeys for a -3 halftime score. Rahm wanted more and, after long putts that ended in par on the 10th and 11th, he sank a great long putt on the par-three 12th to continue reducing his score, moving to +1 overall and knocking on the door of par for the tournament. A ball into the ditch before the green on the par-five 13th condemned him to fight for par, which he achieved.

After a missed opportunity on the 14th, he reached par on the par-five 15th with a mid-distance eagle putt that secured the birdie. From then on, he showed composure with mid-distance putts that weren’t dropping. However, a bunker shot on the 18th resulted in the bogey that prevented him from finishing the tournament at even par. His final score was -4 for the day, by far his best of the week out of a +1 overall, allowing him to end on a high note after a less-than-ideal tournament.
