Regular Expression Finding the Space before the Last word

I'm trying to find the space before the last word of a string.

For example, for

Bob Jane

I would want to find the space right before Jane. I am trying to do a find and replace all to make that become a comma. Thus, the final result would be

Bob ,Jane

I'm only doing this in a text editor (using Sublime) so I'm not using a programming language. Thank you!
