Colombia's Munoz fires 59 to grab LIV Golf Indy lead
"Amazing round," Munoz said. "I started par, par, birdie, feeling like normal, like let's try to go low and then a double hits me and I just kind of stayed positive.
"I made a couple birdies, just trying to make a run, and we made eight straight. When I look I've got cameras on top of me and I make the math and it's possible -- you just got to birdie out.
"I made great putts on 17 and 18 to keep it going and a really good wedge shot on one to finish it up."
The wedge set up a three-foot birdie putt which he sank to complete his career-low round, having twice before fired 60s.
"The break was a little tricky so I just didn't want to kind of mess it up," Munoz said. "I've missed some short ones before so I just really tried to focus and at the moment just hit it as smooth as I could and it went in. So it was great."
Two-time major winner Dustin Johnson was second on 62 with season points leader Joaquin Niemann of Chile, Belgium's Thomas Pieters, American Patrick Reed and Australian Cam Smith sharing third on 64.
Munoz was one off the LIV record of 58 set by two-time US Open winner Bryson DeChambeau in the final round of the 2023 LIV Golf Greenbrier. LIV's only other sub-60 round had been a 59 by Niemann last year at Mayakoba.
The South American standout, who has not won since the 2019 PGA Sanderson Farms Championship before joining LIV in 2023, began on the second hole under LIV's shotgun start and made two pars, a birdie and then a double bogey at the par-four fifth.
Munoz, seventh in the LIV season standings, responded with birdies on the next eight holes, settled for a par at the par-three 14th, then birdied his last five holes.

Rahm edges Niemann for LIV season title as Munoz wins at Indy
Munoz birdied the first playoff hole to beat Rahm for the Indy title after both finished on 22-under 191 through all 54 holes at Chatham Hills in the Saudi-backed series' last individual event of the year. "First time I've ever beat him, so really proud of that and happy I got to go home with the trophy," Munoz said. But Rahm's result, a second playoff loss in as many weeks, was enough to edge Chile's Joaquin Niemann in the season points chase for the second year in a row, delivering heartbreak on the campaign's last day as he did in 2024. "Still slightly bittersweet," Rahm said. "I know I'm supposed to be happy. It's a great moment. But it just doesn't feel great to finish the year losing two playoffs. "I'm sure over time I'll get over that and I really appreciate what I've done this year." Rahm won the season title without winning any LIV event while Niemann took titles this year in Adelaide, Singapore, Mexico City, Virginia and Britain. "It sucks," Niemann said. "I started playing my best golf on the back nine, which I'm proud of, but at the end of the day, the putts didn't drop, and it wasn't enough. It's kind of hard to swallow." Rahm, a Masters and US Open champion, wasn't overjoyed about a season crown without a win all year. "To be able to win the season without actually winning a tournament, I know eventually I'll be proud of that. Right now it's slightly more something I'm going to suffer over a little bit more, and it may never be replicated," Rahm said. "You need a lot of coincidences to go on exactly with the year Joaquín had. He's won five times. He has played incredible golf. One could argue he was probably the more deserving guy to win this. But we have the points system we have and somehow, I don't know how, I managed to pull through and get it done." Rahm captured $18 million for claiming the season crown with Niemann taking $8 million for his runner-up season finish after sharing fourth at Indy on 196 with a closing 66. Munoz, who battled two-time major winner Dustin Johnson for the lead most of the day, birdied the 17th and 18th holes in regulation and the 18th again in the playoff to win his first title since the 2019 PGA Tour Sanderson Farms Championship. "We came today to try and take care of business," Munoz said. "Of course Jon shot 10-under so you go from one legend to another one. It was pretty cool. Awesome experience. Making birdie two times in a row (at 18), it's undescribable." Munoz battled for the victory after firing a 59 on Friday, only the third sub-60 round in LIV history. "I feel really proud of myself," he said. "It has been a long time coming, six years since my last win, and it's awesome right now." A severe overnight storm toppled trees and swamped fairways, delaying the shotgun start by 55 minutes, with players using lift, clean and place rules on the rain-softened course. Englishmen avoid drop England's Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter avoided being dumped from LIV for 2026, finishing in the season's top 48 in points to escape the relegation zone. Westwood birdied four of his first five holes while Poulter birdied four of his last five to avoid the drop, each finishing on 201. Sweden's Henrik Stenson was dropped, however, after missing a birdie putt at the 18th that would have seen him avoid relegation at Poulter's expense. Niemann's Torque won the Indy team title, it's first triumph since 2023, but Rahm's Legion XIII holds the top seeding for next week's LIV Team Championship.

Japan's Iwai grabs lead at LPGA Portland Classic
The 23-year-old from Saitama, seeking her first LPGA victory, made seven birdies and an eagle against a lone bogey to stand on 18-under 198 after 54 holes at Edgewater Country Club. Australia's Grace Kim, who captured her first major title at the Evian Championship, made a stunning eagle at the 17th, holing out from 156 yards from the fairway rough to shoot 67 and grab second on 200. World number 29 Iwai, an LPGA runner-up this year at Thailand and the LA Championship, has won six times on the Japan Tour. "After I made the eagle at five, I had many birdie chances, so good tempo," Iwai said. "My style is aggressive. No change this week. Aim to the pin. Every shot. Every hole." That was apparent at the 18th hole, where she dropped her approaches inches from the hole and tapped in for her fourth birdie on the back nine. After answering a bogey at the par-three second hole with a birdie at the third, Iwai eagled the par-five fifth followed by back-to-back birdies at six and the par-five seventh. She began the back nine with birdies at the par-five 10th and 12th holes and added another at the par-three 13th to reach 17-under and lead by three strokes. Kim went four-under over the last five holes to charge into the second with birdies at 14 and 15 and her eagle at 17 the shot of the round. She looked away after the ball landed in the rough, not seeing it bounce onto the green, roll down a slope and into the hole for an eagle. "I leaked my driver a little right," Kim said. "I thought I was going to be in the rough, which it was, and I was trying to see if I could get a drop. I wasn't entirely over the sprinkler head boxes so I knew I just had to hit it. "It leaked right again and I was like, 'Oh please get through the rough,' and somehow it went in the hole so I guess it's a little bit of luck in there." Sweden's Linn Grant took third on 202 with a 65, one stroke ahead of American Gurleen Kaur with India's Aditi Ashok and American Gina Kim on 204. "I had a good round out there," Grant said. "Tried to go out and just be, I wouldn't say happy, but just accepting of whatever today would bring. I played very mature and just had a lot of fun." South Korea's Lee5 Jeong-eun led after 36 holes but made a triple bogey at the par-four sixth hole to fall eight off the pace.

Coffee-lover Atmane felt the buzz from Cincinnati breakthrough
The 23-year-old who credits mental training with helping him evolve from a racquet-smashing Tour wild child to a serious contender, defines himself as something of a tennis Renaissance man, with a multitude of interests off the court. "I'm a tennis player but I also collect Pokemon cards and always look for good coffee places on the tour," he said. "I love Japanese culture and food. "I have three cats waiting for me at home in France. I like space, the universe and this world that we live in." While he donned a local Cincinnati Reds baseball cap after wins over top 10 opponents Taylor Fritz and Holger Rune this week, Atmane said he would won't have time to take up an invitation from some fans to attend a game. "I have to get to New York as soon as possible," he said post-match. The number 136 who will rise inside the top 70 after this event, called his showing "absolutely insane. "I can't believe I played the semi-finals here," he said. "Today will be a good memory for me which I will remember for a long time." Atmane recounts how a change earlier this season also meant a change in his previously suspect attitude. "I'm still the same guy I was, but one who is different mentally, I've worked a lot to stabilise myself, trying to make my mental stronger than my emotions. "I think that is the key for me to reach a higher level." The Frenchman presented Sinner with a Pokemon card from his collection of the Japanese trading cards as a 24th birthday present before their match. "I had to give Jannik something, it's his birthday," he said. "I had brought some from France. I'm a collector - it was the perfect gift." Atmane then put up a poised fight in the opening set before Sinner pulled away in the second for victory. "He was just better than me," Atmane said. "He took all the responsibility in the second set and he was able to play his game. "If it's the world number one then its over already. I fought hard to hold my serve in the first set, but after seven matches my body was tired."
