Sebastian Munoz of Colombia shoots a 59, with a double bogey, at LIV Golf Indianapolis
WESTFIELD, Ind. (AP) — Sebastian Munoz of Colombia recorded the third sub-60 scores on the LIV Golf League, making birdie on 13 of his last 14 holes and becoming the first player to shoot 59 with a double bogey. He responded from that early blunder by chipping in for birdie on the sixth hole, the start of eight straight birdies for another record in the four-year history of LIV Golf. He finished with five birdies in a row, hitting a gap wedge to 3 feet on his final hole. 'I've done eight birdies in a row,' Munoz said. 'But 13 out of 14, it's insane. I've never sniffed that. Really proud of the way I handled the day." On a day of low scoring at The Club at Chatham Hills, a par 71 that hosted the Mid-American Conference championship last year, Munoz led by three shots over Dustin Johnson. A large group at 64 included Joaquin Niemann, who was 7 under through nine holes. Niemann and Bryson DeChambeau, who shot 58 in the final round at The Greenbrier two years ago, are the other LIV players with sub-60 rounds. It also was the sixth sub-60 round in worldwide golf this year. This is the final tournament that determines the individual champion in the LIV Golf League. Munoz, along with Jon Rahm and Carlos Ortiz, are the only players in the top 10 on the points list who have yet to win this year. ___ AP golf: The Associated Press

Brandel Chamblee Slams Bryson DeChambeau Amid Ryder Cup LIV Golf Firestorm
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Golf Channel reporter Brandel Chamblee has never been one to bite his tongue, especially when it comes to LIV Golf. Since the Saudi-backed league's inception in 2022, the analyst has fired off a barrage of critiques, calling LIV a "failed idea," and even likening its rise to historical atrocities. Earlier this year, he clapped back at LIV CEO Scott O'Neil's claim that LIV had "the best players in the world," citing their poor major performances as proof otherwise. Now, with the Ryder Cup just 40 days away, Chamblee has reignited controversy with a blistering take on Bryson DeChambeau, who currently sits fifth in the U.S. Ryder Cup standings. Brandel Chamblee drops a hot take on LIV Golf's Bryson DeChambeau amid Ryder Cup tensions. (Collage | Image Credits: Getty Images) Brandel Chamblee drops a hot take on LIV Golf's Bryson DeChambeau amid Ryder Cup tensions. (Collage | Image Credits: Getty Images) Getty Images On Friday, Chamblee was asked on X whether he would support DeChambeau when he represents Keegan Bradley's Team USA against Luke Donald's European squad. "He's one of the best players in the world, no doubt," Chamblee typed on his X, replying to the question. He added, "But he will be playing, not for the USA, but for Saudi Arabia in the Ryder Cup. If you disagree, just watch the LIV bots, LIV funders/supporters and those who have been bought by LIV celebrate if he plays well." The tweet quickly gained fans' attention. Social media users flooded the post, calling it "a horrid take." He's one of the best players in the world no doubt, but he will be playing, not for the USA, but for Saudi Arabia in the Ryder Cup. If you disagree, just watch the LIV bots, LIV funders/supporters and those who have been bought by LIV celebrate if he plays well. — Brandel Chamblee (@chambleebrandel) August 15, 2025 Some accused Chamblee of undermining the integrity of the Ryder Cup, while others questioned whether his personal disdain for LIV Golf was clouding his judgment. Notably, DeChambeau has yet to respond publicly. But his performance this season speaks louder than any tweet. The two-time US Open champion had a strong season this year. He finished runner-up at the PGA Championship in May, tied for fifth at the Masters, and cracked the top 10 at The Open. If that was not enough, on the LIV circuit, he's posted seven top-10 finishes, including a win in Korea and a T2 in Mexico City. His consistency across majors and LIV events has all but locked his spot on Team USA, even before the Tour Championship wraps up next week. Captain Keegan Bradley himself confirmed last month that DeChambeau will be part of the squad, regardless of whether he finishes inside the automatic top six. But DeChambeau's preparation for Bethpage hasn't been smooth sailing Bradley had planned for his team to warm up at the Procore Championship in Napa, two weeks before the Ryder Cup. DeChambeau, however, is barred from participating due to his suspension from the PGA Tour. "It's unfortunate," DeChambeau told Sports Illustrated after his opening round at LIV Golf Indianapolis. "It's on them (the PGA Tour) if they don't let us become together as a team and play ... LIV's willing to let me play." Despite the setback, DeChambeau may still find competitive reps before the Ryder Cup. The DP World Tour's Irish Open is a potential option, though he'd need a sponsor's invite.
