LIV Golf Andalucía: Talor Gooch wins individual title; Legion XIII tops all teams
SAN ROQUE, Spain – On a beautiful Sunday at LIV Golf Andalucía, Smash GC's Talor Gooch narrowly hung on to his 36-hole lead to earn his fourth individual LIV Golf title and his first since 2023. Gooch, who won the league's Individual Championship in 2023, has now won two of the three events played at Valderrama on LIV Golf. The 33-year-old followed his Saturday 5-under 66 with a 1-under 70 to hold off a hard-charging back that was headlined by Legion XIII Captain Jon Rahm. Rahm shot a 6-under 65, tying him with Ripper GC's Matt Jones for the low round of the day. Rahm was able to celebrate a win, however. His Legion XIII shot 5 under for the week and took the team title, edging Fireballs GC (3 under). Rahm tied Gooch at 7 under when Rahm had one hole to play and Gooch had two, including the par-5 17th. Gooch would make birdie after an excellent lag putt from off the green, and Rahm drove it left into the trees on the 18th. After a punch out and a wedge shot that left him close to 20 feet, Rahm made a momentum-saving putt on the last hole followed by an enormous fist pump to keep his hopes of the individual title alive. However, Gooch played the 18th hole brilliantly, leaving himself a tap-in for par and the win. Legion XIII was led by fantastic rounds from Rahm and Tom McKibbin (5-under 66). Caleb Surratt came up clutch for Rahm, making birdie on five of his last nine holes after playing his first nine at 4-over par. Surratt finished with a 1-under 70. Teammate Tyrrell Hatton shot even-par 70 to help his team to the hardware. The win marks the third of the season for Legion XIII, with all three victories coming outside the United States (Riyadh and Mexico City). For the Fireballs, Abraham Ancer finished in third place, shooting a 5-under 66 to achieve his best finish since LIV Golf Adelaide where he finished tied for second. For the third consecutive tournament, 4Aces GC failed to convert a 36-hole lead into their first victory since 2023. The 4Aces finished in a tie for third alongside Smash GC, who were led by Jason Kokrak's 2-under 69. Branden Grace of Stinger GC shot a 2-under 69 to finish tied for fourth, which was an important result for his place in the standings as the 37-year-old projects to move from 49th in the individual standings to 34th, well inside the Drop Zone. The third round was the easiest round of the week with a scoring average of –0.58 after playing +0.57 in Round 2 and +2.46 in Round 1.

Joaquin Niemann Headlines 5-Way Tie at LIV Golf Andalucía Before Round 1 Delay
SAN ROQUE, Spain – On a blustery day in Spain with winds howling at 33 mph and lightning-fast greens, Valderrama delivered one of the toughest rounds golf fans will witness this season. At 5:07 p.m. local time, conditions were deemed unplayable at LIV Golf Andalucía, as the balls would no longer stay on the greens due to the high winds. Round 1 will resume at 8 a.m. local time (2 a.m. ET) on Saturday, with Round 2 scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m. local time (4:30 a.m. ET). When play was suspended, there was a 5-way tie at the top of the leaderboard with Torque GCCaptain Joaquin Niemann, Ripper GC Captain Cameron Smith, Majesticks GC Co-Captain Lee Westwood, Stinger GC's Branden Grace and Smash GC's Talor Gooch all at 1-under par. "Just keep doing what I'm doing," Smith said. "I hit a lot of drives today that felt like good shots and didn't quite catch the fairway. Just seemed like one of those days where if you got a bit of a gust, it was just going to take your ball anyway ... Did a good job with staying patient. Made a lot of birdies, and like I said, just keep doing what I'm doing. Hopefully I find some more fairways and make some more putts." Niemann, who has won four times this season, is bogey free on his round with two holes to play. The only player to have a bogey-free round at Valderrama on LIV Golf was Crushers GC Captain Bryson DeChambeau in 2023 (Rd. 2). Fireballs GC Captain Sergio Garcia got off to an up-and-down start in his title defense. The Spaniard, who has won four times in his career at Valderrama, made two birdies and four bogeys to sit at 2-over par for his round, but only three shots off the lead. A handful of stars, including Legion XIII Captain Jon Rahm (E), Crushers GC's Paul Casey (+1), RangeGoats GC Captain Bubba Watson (+1) and Legion XIII's Tyrrell Hatton (+1), are also within striking distance. The scoring average for the round was a brutal 3.05 and 16 of the 18 holes played over par. The only exceptions were the 5th (-0.11) and the 11th (-0.41). In other news, LIV Golf has applied again to be included in the Official World Golf Ranking, without any indication of how it will operate differently from when their first application was rejected nearly two years ago. The OWGR said in a statement Friday it had received the application and has started the review process to determine if the Saudi-funded league of 54 players will be included. "The OWGR Board is committed to a thorough evaluation process of all applications, and LIV's application will be reviewed in accordance with OWGR's criteria to ensure fairness, integrity and consistency," the OWGR said in a statement. The OWGR board has an annual meeting next week at the British Open. The OWGR denied the first application in October 2023 — the first full year of the league — saying it could not fairly measure LIV Golf with two dozen other tours around the world because of what amounted to a closed shop, along with the individual competition potentially being compromised by scores counting toward a team result. LIV now has 54 players — 13 four-man teams and two wild cards — and keeps the roster all season except for alternates used in case of injury. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
