It was a tale of the first 18 holes and the rest of the 2025 British Open for Bryson DeChambeau.
He shot 78 in the opening round at Royal Portrush and looked well on the way to missing the cut in his second straight major. Instead, he flipped a switch and instead shot under par the next three days and earned himself a top-10 finish with a stellar closing 54 holes, finishing as the lowest LIV golfer on the leaderboard.
Here's how every LIV Golf player finished in the 2025 British Open.

Niemann lands fifth LIV Golf title of season in UK

LIV Golf UK final leaderboard -17 J Niemann (Chi); -14 B Watson (US); -13 C Surratt (US); -11 Talor Gooch (US) Selected others: -10 J Rahm (Spa); -7 P Casey (Eng), T McKibbin (NI); -5 T Hatton (Eng); -3 R Bland (Eng) Full leaderboard Chile's Joaquin Niemann won the UK leg of the LIV Golf tour for his fifth title of the season. It came after the 26-year-old parted ways with his coach and caddie after missing the cut at the Open earlier this month. Niemann started the final round with a six-shot lead at the JCB Golf and Country Club in Rocester. And a steady round of 68, including five birdies and a bogey, left his rivals with a gap that proved too big to close. Nearest challenger Bubba Watson did make a bold effort as his six-under 65 - featuring a run of four birdies and two eagles on the back nine - threatened to make things interesting. Niemann admitted feeling some pressure before he settled to finish three shots clear on 17 under. "I felt like today I was pretty calm, pretty chill, until Bubba started playing golf," he said. "He made it tough for me. I was actually feeling the pressure on 13, 14, but, yeah, just stay in the present. Yeah, was able to hit a great shot on 15. After that, [it] put me back into my place." American Watson's 14 under was the two-time major winner's best LIV Golf finish. Niemann's success in Staffordshire followed ones in Adelaide, Singapore, Mexico City and Virginia this season as he became the first player to register five wins in a season on the LIV tour. Jon Rahm's Legion XIII won the team event as he, Englishman Tyrrell Hatton, Northern Ireland's Tom McKibbin and Caleb Surratt finished with a combined score of 35 under.

After caddie change that 'wasn't my choice,' Kurt Kitayama teams with bro for 3M win

Kurt Kitayama's three-shot victory Sunday at the 3M Open marked his second career PGA Tour win. It was his first alongside his older brother, Daniel. Daniel Kitayama, who has caddied off and on for his brother over the years, picked up the bag for the first time this season at last week's Barracuda Championship, which was Kurt's first event after splitting with his previous caddie, Tim Tucker. And as Tucker worked spot duty for his old boss, Bryson DeChambeau, at this week's LIV U.K. event, Daniel was looping a second straight week for little bro. 'You know, the caddie change wasn't my choice actually,' Kitayama said Sunday evening, 'and so I had to find someone that I knew, I had to find someone that I trusted, and my brother's been on the bag before. We won twice in Europe. He's always been around me at tournaments and whenever he can, so I figured that was going to be the best fit to finish the season.' Kurt Kitayama was T-4 at the John Deere Classic, his last tournament with Tucker on the bag, before tying for 14th in Tahoe. Tucker was filling in for DeChambeau's regular caddie, Greg Bodine, and told Golfweek that after this week, 'I will see what opportunities there are in the caddie world.' DeChambeau was T-11 on Sunday. Said Kurt of Daniel: 'He helped me stay calm out there, make good decisions, and yeah, just helps having family on the bag.' Kitayama's win moved him to No. 53 in FedExCup points, so with one regular-season tournament left, he's guaranteed to qualify for the playoff opener, the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis.

Kitayama wins 3M Open. Lottie Woad wins in her pro debut and Harrington takes a 2nd senior major

BLAINE, Minn. (AP) — Kurt Kitayama finished a sizzling weekend with a 6-under 65 to win the 3M Open on Sunday by one shot over Sam Stevens for his second PGA Tour victory. Kitayama, who tied the tournament record with a career-best 60 on Saturday to enter the final round within one of the lead, birdied six of the first eight holes to take control on a 91-degree afternoon at the TPC Twin Cities. Kitayama led by one playing the par-5 18th when he hit 5-iron onto the back slope of a bunker. He blasted out to about 18 feet and took two putts for par to finish at 23-under 261. Matt Wallace, David Lipsky, Pierceson Coody and Jake Knapp tied for third, three strokes back. Kitayama, whose only other PGA Tour win was the Arnold Palmer Invitational in 2023, moved to No. 53 in the FedEx Cup with one week remaining for the top 70 to qualify for the postseason. He also earned a two-year exemption and a spot in the Masters next year. LPGA Tour and Ladies European Tour IRVINE, Scotland (AP) — Lottie Woad never flinched Sunday on her way to a 4-under 68 to win the Women's Scottish Open by three shots over Hyo Joo Kim in her professional debut. The 21-year-old Englishwoman is the second player in three years to win on the LPGA Tour in her pro debut, following Rose Zhang in the Mizuho Americas Open at Liberty National in 2023. Woad finished at 21-year 267 and earned $300,000. Woad was the No. 1 amateur in the women's ranking when she won the Women's Irish Open on the Ladies European Tour three weeks ago. Then, the former Florida State player finished one shot out of a playoff in the Evian Championship in France, an LPGA major, and turned pro. Nelly Korda shot 71 and finished eight shots behind. PGA Tour Champions BERKSHIRE, England (AP) — Padraig Harrington was so focused on his game that he didn't notice a leaderboard or see Rory McIlroy in the gallery Sunday at the Senior British Open. He closed with a 3-under 67 to win his second senior major of the year. Staked to a two-shot lead, Harrington made eagle on the first hole on the Old Course at Sunningdale and no one got closer than two shots the rest of the way as he became the fifth player with a Senior British Open and a British Open title. He won by three shots over Thomas Bjorn (67) and Justin Leonard (68). Harrington joined Darren Clarke, Tom Watson, Gary Player and Bob Charles as players to have won the British Open and the senior version. LIV Golf League UTTOEXTER, England (AP) — Joaquin Niemann changed his coach and his caddie and won for the fifth time this year on the LIV Golf League, closing with a 3-under 68 in LIV Golf-UK for a three-shot victory over Bubba Watson. Niemann missed the cut in the British Open last week for his second straight missed cut in a major. He made big changes by leaving his coach and getting a new caddie but found his comfort zone back on LIV. Niemann has won seven times, all in the last two years, on the Saudi-backed circuit. He has won just over $21 million this year. Watson closed with a 65, while Caleb Surratt also had a 65 to finish alone in third. Legion XIII won the team title. Korn Ferry Tour GLENVIEW, Ill. (AP) — Johnny Keefer played bogey-free over the final 10 holes and pulled away with a 2-under 69 for a two-shot victory in the NV5 Invitational, his second Korn Ferry Tour win of the year that secures his spot on the PGA Tour next year. Jeffrey Kang made eagle on the par-5 18th at The Glen Club for a 65 that allowed him to finish alone in second. Neal Shipley closed with a 63 and tied for third along with Kensei Hirata (65) and Davis Chatfield (67). Keefer regained the top spot on the Korn Ferry Tour points list and joined Austin Smotherman as two-time winners on the circuit this year. Other tours Brett White made eagle on the final hole for a 59, and then won the Commissionaires Ottawa Open with a birdie on the second hole of a three-man playoff. It was the second 59 on the PGA Tour Americas in as many years. ... ... Ayaka Watanabe closed with an 8-under 64 for a two-shot victory in the Daito Kentaku Eheyanet Ladies on the Japan LPGA. ___ AP golf:
