It would end up being those three in a playoff, after Burmester made a clutch par on the 18th hole, his last in the shotgun start format.

This is the second-to-last regular-season event for LIV. Next week it’s the LIV Golf Indianapolis event, followed by the LIV Golf Team Championship in Michigan.<\/p>\n
