@Source: newsweek.com
LIV Golf star Bryson DeChambeau finally put his recent final-round misfortune behind him to claim his first victory since the 2024 US Open. The victory came at the LIV Golf Korea event following his fourth consecutive Sunday in contention.DeChambeau won at Jack Nicklaus Golf Club in Incheon at 19-under, two strokes ahead of teammate Charles Howell III. Talor Gooch was third at 14-under.The reigning US Open champion led the first round of the tournament with a 7-under score, tied with Gooch. A day later, he shot 6-under to take a comfortable four-shot lead over Richard Bland. Finally, he fired another 6-under on Sunday to win wire-to-wire.DeChambeau had reached the final rounds of his three previous starts with a chance to win, only to fade on Sunday.In Miami, he was tied for the lead after 36 holes, but shot 3-over on Sunday to fall to fifth. A week later at the Masters, he entered the final round in second place, two shots behind leader Rory McIlroy, but also carded a 3-over on Sunday to drop to fifth.Most recently, DeChambeau led LIV Golf Mexico City by one stroke over Cam Smith after 36 holes, but shot even par in the final round and was unable to prevent Joaquin Niemann from overtaking him.Despite getting that monkey off his back, DeChambeau is more focused on what lies ahead:"Glad to have pushed through in this victory and won this event, but there's a lot more work to be done this year. There's three more majors, and my eyes are focused on that with all the other LIV events, doing my absolute best in every single event I show up to."It was the 31-year-old's third win at LIV Golf. DeChambeau had not won in the league since the 2023 season when he won at Greenbrier and Bedminster.DeChambeau and Howell III led Crushers GC to their first win of the season and sixth since joining the league. Paul Casey and Anirban Lahiri also contributed to the victory, tying for 29th and 45th, respectively.Bryson DeChambeau is now second in the individual standings for the season, less than a point ahead of Jon Rahm and more than 20 points behind Joaquin Niemann. Crushers GC is in third place in the team standings.Rahm tied for 7th in Korea, his 19th top-10 finish at LIV Golf in as many events, including two wins.More Golf: Scottie Scheffler Makes PGA History, Decimates CJ Cup Byron Nelson Field
