Joaquin Niemann wins in Virginia for sixth career LIV title
JOAQUIN Niemann birdied Nos. 14-17 to cap off a bogey-free, 8-under-par 63 for his final round and hung on to win LIV Golf Virginia on Sunday in Gainesville, Va. The 26-year-old from Chile went 15-under 198 for the week at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club and beat Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell (66) and Anirban Lahiri of India (68) by a single stroke. Lahiri had a birdie attempt at his final hole to force a playoff with Niemann but could not convert. Niemann's sixth LIV win – all coming in a 17-month span – broke a tie with Brooks Koepka for the most victories in the Saudi-backed league's brief history. He had to endure a rain delay and fend off a crowded field of players to finish the job. "I felt like there was a lot going on during the rain delay," Niemann said. "Tried to keep my mind on the right thoughts, and having Bryson (DeChambeau) coming off pretty clutch at the end, Phil (Mickelson) as well, Anirban... "It could have been for anybody, and I felt like I was all day just behind, especially since the beginning of the week, and I feel like the only word that I was telling myself from last night was just have faith. There's nothing else I can do, have a good attitude, and just wait." The win propels him into next week's US Open, where he is in the field on an exemption reserved for one of the top players in the league. "I feel like I'm still pretty far away of winning (a major)," Niemann said. "I'm just happy to be playing at the US Open. It's going to be a great course, pretty tough conditions. I'm just looking forward for that challenge and have a fun week." After a two-putt birdie at the par-5 14th hole, Niemann sank a 9-footer at the 15th and a 10-footer at the par-3 16th. He reached 15 under par when he stuck his second shot at No. 17 to about a foot from the pin to set up a tap-in birdie. DeChambeau and Mickelson each shot 6-under 65s to get into a tie for fourth at 13 under with Belgium's Thomas Pieters (63) and Bubba Watson (67). Mickelson made an improbable birdie at No. 17 on a flop shot from the greenside rough. He stood in a bunker, well below his ball, and sent it high in the air and on a perfect line to gently roll into the cup. In the team standings, the DeChambeau-captained Crushers GC went 15 under for the day to finish 36 under par and secure the team title by two strokes over 4Aces GC. It is Crushers' second straight team victory following the last event in South Korea. "It was funny, going into Korea we were all looking at each other going, 'What are we doing? Let's kick it into gear,' and we have," DeChambeau said. "Definitely a force to be reckoned with, and I'm looking forward to the rest of the season." — REUTERS

Controversial 2-Time Major Champion Receives Invite to PGA Championship
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. This season's second major, the PGA Championship, is just eight days away! Last year, Xander Schauffele edged out LIV Golf's Bryson DeChambeau by a single stroke to claim his first major title. But this time, it's not just DeChambeau, who has been in stellar form, posing a challenge for the two-time major winner. Another controversial two-time major champion is set to make headlines. On Tuesday, the PGA Championship unveiled its field for next week's tournament at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte. It included 16 LIV golfers. Among them is former U.S. Open and Masters winner Dustin Johnson, whose inclusion raised eyebrows.

(Photo by) More Getty Images Despite once being a dominant force in the golf world, Johnson's performance has notably declined since his move to LIV Golf in 2022. His struggles are not merely reflected in his current world ranking of 751, but more so with only two top-10 finishes in LIV Golf events this season. The 40-year-old missed the cut at Augusta National last month, marking another setback in his recent form. But Johnson's presence at the PGA Championship also conjures up his controversial past. His alleged history with cocaine addiction led to a six-month suspension from the PGA Tour in 2014, which also kept him out of that year's PGA Championship and Ryder Cup. Golfer Dustin Johnson is serving a 6-month suspension from PGA Tour after testing positive for cocaine, per source. (via @si_golf) — SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) August 1, 2014 At the time, the suspension was never officially announced, but reports later surfaced that Johnson had failed a third drug test, prompting the ban. When Johnson returned to Quail Hollow Club the following year, he failed to make the cut. His performance improved slightly in 2016, hovering around the top 15 while Justin Thomas claimed the title. It wasn't until 2019 and 2020 that Johnson recorded his best PGA Championship finishes, coming close to victory. Now, with a special invitation securing his place in the field, Johnson has a chance to rewrite his story. But with fellow LIV golfers Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, Brooks Koepka, and Phil Mickelson also in the mix, the competition will be fierce. What do you think? Will the 40-year-old be able to recreate what he did in 2019-2020? Let us know in the comment section below! More Golf: PGA Tour Pro Blasts Signature Events Despite $1M Payday: 'I hate it'

Patrick Reed dominates day one as he pursues his first LIV Golf Miami victory
After one day of golf at LIV Miami, Patrick Reed looks like he is playing a different course than everyone else, posting a five under and leading the pack by two. The 4Aces GC player and 2018 Masters champion played close to a flawless round of golf until his last hole, recording seven birdies, one double bogey and ten pars. It was a windy day for the beginning of LIV Golf's fourth consecutive tournament at Trump Doral's Blue Monster golf course and many of LIV's top current players struggled. Coming into the tournament, Torque GC captain Joaquin Niemann topped the individual standings with 84.66 points and two tournament wins this season, but he had a brutal day, finishing six over, tied for 43. John Rahm, the captain of Legion XII, is second in individual rankings with 66.70 points and has finished in the top six of every tournament so far this season. His day ended much better than Niemann, but not up to his normal standards, finishing one over and tied for 16. Last year's Miami champion and Stinger GC player Dean Burmester also struggled defending his title. After finishing 11 under at the end of last year's tournament, Burmester, who is currently ranked fifth, finished even and tied for 10. Instead of these top players, Reed, who is tied for 29th in LIV's individual standings, dominated the day. Last year at Miami, Reed finished tied for 30th but he started LIV's first tournament of the season in the U.S. red hot. 'It was just steady golf. I was driving it well, felt like I had pretty good control of my irons, and really at the end of the day, the putter was working,' Reed said. 'Not having to chip around this place makes it easy, so I felt like I had a lot of control of the golf ball and was able to get up-and-down anytime I did miss a green.' His first hole ended in a birdie, and he kept that momentum throughout the front nine, finishing four under. He stayed consistent through the back nine, adding three more birdies, bringing him to seven under walking up to his final hole. Faced with a par three over water, Reed finally looked human for the first time of the day. He took three shots to get on the green then two putted from there to finish with a double bogey. It was the one flaw in Reed's round and is the only reason he isn't running away with the tournament. 'I had the worst yardage possible. I felt like if I hit hybrid, it's too much, but then if I hit 4-iron I'd have to start it almost over the water and try to hook it back,' Reed said, when describing what happened on the final hole. 'It was just one bad swing that put me in a really bad lie, in a bad spot, and it happens. Now it's just about bouncing back from it going into tomorrow.' So far this season, Reed has had been subpar compared to previous seasons. After finishing 20 in the final rankings last year and 6 the year before that, he has only one top 20 finish so far this year, tying for 10 in Hong Kong. Reed is also looking to get his first ever LIV golf tournament win and he has set himself up perfectly to do so after his first day, but he still isn't brimming with confidence. He knows how challenging the course can be. 'I know how hard this place can get. When the wind blows here, it's nerve-racking,' Reed said. 'It seems like the wind kind of switches directions a couple times while you're out there. You just have to stay committed to what you're doing, hit quality golf shots and hit the ball solid.' Reed's 4Aces teammate and captain, Dustin Johnson, along with Crushers captain Bryson Dechambeau and HyFlyers Captain Phil Mickelson, all finished tied for second at three under. The Crushers were also the only team to shoot under par for the day, finishing at two under and in the lead. The 4Aces came in second, finishing even despite two of their four players posting the best scores for the round. The top three was rounded out by Fireballs GC who finished way behind the other two at five over. Day two of LIV Golf Miami kicks off at 11:15 a.m. Saturday morning at Trump Doral Golf course. It can be stream on the FOX sports app and will be broadcast on FS1.
