Mu\u00f1oz drained a short birdie putt for a 12-under 59 at the LIV event at The Club at Chatham Hills outside of Indianapolis. He’s three shots ahead of Dustin Johnson<\/a> after the opening round.<\/p>\n Mu\u00f1oz stumbled at the par-4 fifth, taking two penalty shots en route to the double bogey. But he responded with birdies on 13 of his final 14 holes, closing with a gap wedge to a few feet and then converting the putt on the par-4 first (he started on hole No. 2 in the shotgun format) to join Joaqu\u00edn Niemann<\/a> and Bryson DeChambeau<\/a> as the only LIV players to shoot under 60 since the breakaway circuit began in 2022.<\/p>\n Editor’s Picks Niemann had a 59 at Mayakoba in 2024. DeChambeau fired a 58 at Greenbrier in 2023. Both also came in at 12 under; neither had a double bogey.<\/p>\n “Amazing round,” Munoz said. “I started par-par-birdie, feeling like normal, just try and go low. And then that double hits me, and I just kind of stayed positive. Made a couple birdies, and tried to make a run, and we made eight straight. And when I look, I got cameras on top of me, and I kind of make the math and it’s possible, you just got to birdie out. And I made a great putt on 17 and 18 to keep it going and then a great wedge shot here on 1 to finish it up.”<\/p>\n Of the 15 sub-60 rounds in PGA Tour history, none has featured a double bogey. Same for the Korn Ferry Tour, which has had 15 sub-60 rounds.<\/p>\n Mu\u00f1oz is seventh in the LIV player standings this season. The individual champion will be crowned this weekend.<\/p>\n Mu\u00f1oz, Jon Rahm<\/a> and Carlos Ortiz<\/a> are the only players in the top 10 without wins this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aug 15, 2025, 05:31 PM ET Sebasti\u00e1n Mu\u00f1oz carded the third sub-60 round in LIV Golf’s brief history…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":86998,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[427,99],"class_list":["post-86997","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86997","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=86997"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86997\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/86998"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=86997"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=86997"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=86997"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1755339729_845_r1476862_1296x1296_1-1.jpg&w=130&h=130&scale=crop&location=center.jpeg\")
