CRUSHERS GC vs. SMASH GC<\/p>\n
Bryson DeChambeau<\/a> vs. Talor Gooch<\/a> DeChambeau\u2019s choice to play Gooch was a bit surprising, as a showdown with his former rival, Brooks Koepka<\/a>, seemed likely. However, Gooch, who ranked 6th in the individual standings this season, has undoubtedly been Smash GC<\/a>\u2019s best player. When asked about the decision, DeChambeau said with a smile, \u201cI’ve got my reasons,\u201d before adding, \u201cIt’s not personal, though, I can tell you that. It’s not.\u201d<\/p>\n Gooch, who won at Valderrama earlier this year, should give DeChambeau all he can handle in this important matchup.<\/p>\n Anirban Lahiri<\/a> vs. Brooks Koepka<\/a> Lahiri is still looking for his first singles match win on LIV Golf (0-4) and will face Koepka, who has struggled towards the end of the season. Koepka made four birdies on Friday to Lahiri\u2019s three.<\/p>\n Paul Casey<\/a>\/Charles Howell III<\/a> vs. Jason Kokrak<\/a>\/Graeme McDowell<\/a>
