🔥 Final Round Highlights & Key Performances
⚡ Bubba Watson's Spectacular Charge
Bubba Watson, the 46-year-old left-hander from RangeGoats GC, delivered one of the most memorable final round performances in LIV Golf history. Watson went birdie-eagle-birdie-birdie-eagle-birdie from holes 9-14, marking the hottest six-hole stretch ever recorded on the LIV Golf League.
The highlight came at the par-5 10th hole, where Watson hit a driver off the deck from 320 yards, landing his ball just three feet from the pin for an incredible eagle. This shot has been hailed as the shot of the tournament and perhaps one of the best in LIV Golf history.
Watson's remarkable surge cut Niemann's lead to just two shots at one point, but Niemann's crucial birdie on the 15th hole ultimately sealed the victory. Watson's second-place finish represents his best-ever result on the LIV Golf League 💪
🎯 Caleb Surratt's Breakthrough Performance
At just 21 years old, Caleb Surratt achieved his career-best LIV Golf finish with a bogey-free final round of 65 that propelled him to third place. The Tennessee native's six birdies in the final round not only secured his first-ever top-10 finish but also led Legion XIII's remarkable team comeback.
Jon Rahm praised his young teammate, saying: "Caleb getting his first top-10 and finishing third is a big deal, a big week. It shows how much he has progressed and what he's capable of achieving."
Surratt's performance marks him as one of the league's brightest young talents and a key contributor to Legion XIII's continued success 🌟
