\n<\/p>\nA year on from Sergio Garcia’s second LIV Golf triumph, the PIF-backed circuit has returned to Fanling for its Hong Kong stop and each of the 57 players involved began the week trying to emulate the Spaniard’s achievement.<\/p>\n
Heading into the final round, only a handful of the LIV roster remain in with a chance of doing so despite scoring continuing to be particularly low.<\/p>\n
Garcia began the day among the contenders, facing a four-shot deficit to co-leaders Harold Varner III, Jon Rahm and Thomas Detry, who were on 17 under with a round to play.<\/p>\n
