Jon Rahm is your 2023 Masters champion.

On Sunday, Rahm chased down Brooks Koepka over the course of 30 holes, swinging a four-stroke deficit into a four-stroke lead before sealing the win on the 18th green at Augusta National.

Rahm had overcome wild weather, as well as a double bogey on the opening hole of the tournament to take home the green jacket for the first time in his career. But even with all the obstacles in his way, there was one person that was sure Rahm could win — his younger self.

After he won, a tweet from Rahm from a decade ago resurfaced, in which the young Spaniard called his shot with the help of a fortune cookie from Panda Express.

In November 2013, Rahm tweeted out a photo of a fortune cookie that read: "Your talents will be recognized and suitably rewarded."

"I am gonna win the masters!" Rahm wrote.

At the time, Rahm was just 18 years old, still playing college golf at Arizona State.

A decade later, he would prove himself correct.

On Twitter, fans enjoyed Rahm's full circle moment with him.

Panda Express even got in on the fun, offering to help Rahm fill out the menu for the Champions Dinner he will host at Augusta National next year.

For Rahm, it's his fourth win of the calendar year and the second major victory of his career. He still needs a PGA Championship and an Open Championship to complete the career Grand Slam.

His first shot at adding to his major total will be at the PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, New York, next month.
