Tom McKibbin says his first year with LIV Golf has been “incredible” after helping Legion XIII win the team championship in Michigan.<\/p>\n
The 22-year-old Northern Irishman and team captain Jon Rahm both carded rounds of 65, with Caleb Surratt leading the way on 64 and England’s Tyrrell Hatton shooting 66 to force a play-off with Bryson DeChambeau’s Crushers as both teams finished 20 under.<\/p>\n
Rahm – who retained the LIV individual title last week – and Hatton birdied the second play-off hole against DeChambeau and England’s Paul Casey at the Cardinal at St John’s to see their team home.<\/p>\n
McKibbin, who made the switch to LIV this year, earned $1.4m (\u00a31m) for the team championship win, and reflected on an “incredible year” on the Saudi-backed tour.<\/p>\n
“Getting to spend it with these three guys has been incredible,” McKibbin said of his team-mates.<\/p>\n
“I’ve learned so much and just being around them has been really good. The whole year has been special and today was a really cool day to go out there. <\/p>\n
“You’re out there on your own, but playing for three other guys, so to come out on top in the first year is really cool.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tom McKibbin says his first year with LIV Golf has been “incredible” after helping Legion XIII win the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":95517,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[443],"tags":[49,48,622,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-95516","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-golf","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95516","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=95516"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95516\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/95517"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=95516"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=95516"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=95516"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
