Final leaderboard<\/a><\/p>\nCrushers GC’s win in Bedminster was also their 11th regular-season team title on LIV Golf, extending their own all-time record as the winningest team in league history. Their success has been built on a core roster that has remained together across multiple seasons under Captain Bryson DeChambeau. Paul Casey led the way for the team Sunday with a 3-under 68, backed by steady rounds from Anirban Lahiri and Charles Howell III as DeChambeau’s group held off both Legion XIII and Torque GC down the stretch.<\/p>\n
Legion XIII and Torque GC finished tied for second on the team leaderboard, both two\u00a0shots back of the\u00a0Crushers. Rahm’s individual championship-clinching week came despite a poor\u00a0final round of 5-over 76, with Caleb Surratt (71) and Tom McKibbin (72) doing the heavy lifting for Legion XIII. Torque GC’s push was fueled once again by Niemann, whose closing 2-under 69 sealed his win by three shots and pushed him to 16 under for the week, three shots\u00a0clear of Varner III.<\/p>\n
Niemann said the pressure of the final round only sharpened his game.<\/p>\n
“That’s when I love it,” he said. “I feel like we like to be in our kind of comfort place, and I feel like the more they push me, the better golfer I’m going to become from every experience that I experience.<\/p>\n
“I was just hoping to be this way, be as exciting as it was, and then to be able to hit the shots that I did and make the putts that I did coming down the stretch, yeah, I put credit on myself.”<\/p>\n
For Rahm, the third straight title came despite a rough week individually, where he finished T41. The Legion XIII captain was\u00a0candid about his difficult stretch over the past two LIV Golf events.<\/p>\n
“Yeah, the last two weeks haven’t been the best, have they,” Rahm said. “I would say proud of earlier in the season. I think to start off as well as I did with a few second places and not getting the win and then going to Hong Kong and getting it done when I needed to, having a lead and then basically losing it and birdieing four in a row in the last few holes was probably the most proud moment.”<\/p>\n
He added: “It’s been great. It’s been a great year. Again, a little sour taste in my mouth because of how badly I played this week. But it’s been something to be proud of. After last year and not getting the win, having possibly a question mark over the season-long race, to win twice and do it effectively and win it again definitely feels good.”<\/p>\n
Varner III couldn’t quite close the gap despite another strong round, a 1-under 70 that left him solo second at 13 under. Westwood and Scott Vincent tied for third at 9 under, with Westwood’s week capped by a 1-over 72 and Vincent closing with a 5-under 66, the low round among the group.<\/p>\n
Byeong Hun An finished fifth at 7 under, while Thomas Pieters, Tom McKibbin and Paul Casey tied for sixth at 6 under. Younghan Song and Branden Grace shared ninth at 4 under, and a group of Laurie Canter, Sergio Garcia and Richard T. Lee tied for 11th at 3 under. Danny Lee rounded out the top 15 at 2 under, with Caleb Surratt and Peter Uihlein finishing at even par.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BEDMINSTER, New Jersey – Jon Rahm clinched another season-long Individual Championship and Joaquin Niemann added to his record…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":852206,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[443],"tags":[49,48,622,82],"class_list":["post-852205","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/852205","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=852205"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/852205\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/852206"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=852205"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=852205"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=852205"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
