Colombia's Munoz fires 59 to grab LIV Golf Indy lead
Cracking 60 despite an early double bogey, the 32-year-old from Bogota torched the Club at Chatham Hills in suburban Westfield in the final individual scoring event of the season for the Saudi-backed series.
"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.

Little League World Series scores: Results, schedule from Day 4 as Texas faces Massachusetts, Pennsylvania plays Illinois
The 2025 Little League World Series is officially off and running. Eight teams continue their quest to win it all in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, on Friday in the annual summer tournament. A new winner will be crowned in 2025, too, after last year's champion, Lake Mary, Florida, was eliminated in the regional round. Which teams will prevail and remain in the winner's bracket? Catch up on all of the action below. Saturday's Little League World Series schedule Here's what's coming up on Saturday: Australia (0-1) vs. Czechia (0-1) at 10 a.m. ET Texas (0-1) vs. Massachusetts (0-1) at 3 p.m. ET Puerto Rico (0-1) vs. Mexico (0-1) at 5 p.m. ET Pennsylvania (0-1) vs. Illinois (0-1) at 7 p.m. ET Little League World Series format In case you need a refresher, the 2025 Little League World Series will feature a total of 20 teams: 10 from the United States and 10 international clubs. Those teams will compete in a modified double-elimination tournament. Play began Wednesday, Aug. 13, with the winners advancing and remaining in the winners' portion of the bracket. Starting Saturday, Aug. 16, the teams that lost their first games will face off to determine which teams remain in the event. Once a team loses twice, it is eliminated. That changes once the championships begin. The U.S. championship game and the international championship game will be held Saturday, Aug. 23, and will both be single-elimination games. The same thing will be true for the LLWS championship game. That creates a scenario in which a team could be eliminated from the event with just one loss. Games will last six innings. If a game is tied after six innings, both teams will play the seventh inning as normal, with no ghost runners on base. If a game extends past the seventh inning, a runner will open each inning on second base.

Cleveland Browns Dealt Troubling Shedeur Sanders Blow on Wednesday
Cleveland Browns Dealt Troubling Shedeur Sanders Blow on Wednesday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After being projected as a potential top five pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, former Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders fell to the fifth round where the Cleveland Browns selected him with the No. 144 pick. The son of Deion Sanders now finds himself in a quarterback battle with fourth other signal callers and is hoping to take advantage of every rep he gets. Sanders, 23, got the starting nod in the team's preseason opener against the Carolina Panthers, leading the team to a 30-10 victory. Despite minimal reps with the ones, Sanders was able to shine, completing 14-of-23 passes for 138 yards and two touchdowns. While many assumed this would be enough to move him up the depth chart past fellow rookie, Dillon Gabriel who the Browns drafted in the third round, Sanders still finds himself at the bottom of the depth chart. As if he didn't already have an uphill journey to earn a starting or even backup role, Sanders was hit with untimely news on Wednesday. Shedeur Sanders Suffers Setback As reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter, Sanders suffered an oblique injury during the team's Wednesday practice. "Browns QB Shedeur Sanders suffered an oblique injury while throwing during the early portion of practice today, and was held out for the rest of the session," wrote Schefter. Although this explains why Sanders didn't receive a single rep in the team's joint practice with the Philadelphia Eagles, it certainly could not come at a worse time. Shedeur Sanders Was In Line to Start Second Preseason Game The development comes about an hour after head coach Kevin Stefanski announced that Sanders would start the team's Saturday preseason game against the Eagles if Gabriel and Pickett were unable to play. This is the second injury of the preseason for Sanders who also dealt with an arm injury last week. If he is unable to practice or play, his chances of working his way of the depth chart will take a huge hit. Now, it's entirely possible he was held out for precautionary reasons and may be able to play on Saturday, but any reps missed are a missed story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Aug 13, 2025, where it first appeared.
