SINGAPORE — Bryson DeChambeau<\/a> hit his drive into the water and still won the playoff with a par Sunday at LIV Golf Singapore when Richard T. Lee<\/a> of Canada missed a 2-foot putt.<\/p>\n DeChambeau birdied the par-5 18th for a 5-under 66. Lee birdied four of his last six holes for a 66. They finished at 14-under 274 at Sentosa Golf Club.<\/p>\n Lee Westwood<\/a> closed with a 70 and finished third, his best finish in LIV.<\/p>\n Lee was trying to become the first wild card — players not affiliated with a team — to win in the LIV Golf League. It looked certain the playoff would go another hole when Lee had a 2-footer for par. He jabbed at it with a quick stroke, and it spun out hard off the left lip.<\/p>\n “It was a short putt and I wanted to just hit it hard, and I hit it a little too hard,” Lee said. “I think the adrenaline was pumping a little bit.”<\/p>\n Lee, 35, picked up $2.25 million for his runner-up finish, the largest check of his career. He earned his spot in the Saudi-funded league by winning the LIV Promotions event.<\/p>\n DeChambeau put his hands over his head in disbelief when Lee missed the playoff putt. He said it reminded him of John Daly<\/a> having a 15-foot birdie putt to beat Tiger Woods<\/a> in a World Golf Championships playoff in 2005, only to three-putt by missing a 3-foot par chance.<\/p>\n “To actually see that happen in front of you, for you to be the positive receiving side of it, it’s just a weird feeling,” DeChambeau said. “But it’s a win and something I’ll appreciate for the rest of my life. Even if I lost today, I was still looking pretty good at my game. I was excited the way I was striking it coming in the last couple days.”<\/p>\n It was DeChambeau’s first victory over 72 holes since he won the U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 in 2024, and it was his fourth LIV Golf title.<\/p>\n Jon Rahm<\/a> finished fifth, ending a stretch of five tournaments he won or was runner-up.<\/p>\n
