Not only the planet golf celebrated that Jon Rahm dressed in green in the Augustan Masters. Nerves arrived from all disciplines, follow-up messages for the last holes and applause afterwards to congratulate the Spaniard, who raised the bar for Spanish golf in history a little more with the sixth green jacket after the two by Severiano Ballesteros (1980 and 1983), both by José María Olazábal (1994 and 1999) and Sergio García (2017).
Thus, in addition to institutions such as the Higher Sports Council, the Spanish Olympic Committee and the Royal Family, athletes such as Rafa Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz and Pau Gasol have joined the collective embrace.
“I am very happy and proud of my compatriot. The new champion of the Augusta Masters! Congratulations Jon Rahm!! Keep making history!” wrote Pau Gasol.
Spanish golf wears the green jacket once again, on a very special day that is already a great milestone for our sport.

Of course, congratulations from the Athletic Club, the Spanish golfer’s team, could not be missing:
Rahm once again made history for Spanish sport by getting a new great, which brings the historic harvest to ten since Seve Ballesteros signed the first at the 1979 British Open.
