Mito Pereira's hole in one at LIV Golf Hong Kong puts Torque GC in solo lead
HONG KONG – Peter Uihlein grabbed a share of the lead Saturday at LIV Golf Hong Kong thanks to a roller-coaster 6-under 64. Ultimately, that up-and-down round was a good thing for the rest of the field. [Related: What is LIV Golf? Format, everything to know about the 2025 season ] The RangeGoats GC star produced one eagle and eight birdies but suffered four bogeys to finish at 11 under and keep the competition tight. He'll enter Sunday's final round at Hong Kong Golf Club tied with Crushers GC's Paul Casey and Fireballs GC Captain Sergio Garcia for the lead, three shots ahead of their nearest chasers. "I just watched the Peter Uihlein show today," said Casey, who shot a 66 on Saturday and has yet to make a bogey this week. "It was impressive stuff. I'm very happy that I'm sitting here tied for the lead. … If Pete had not made a bogey today, he'd be about five shots ahead because of his firepower." "I kind of just view it as entertainment," said Uihlein. "Obviously, I don't like making bogeys, but I guess the adversity that kind of comes with it. I enjoy that. I enjoy the moment." Torque GC's Mito Pereira also enjoyed a moment on Saturday, recording the 10th hole-in-one in LIV Golf history, at the 149-yard second hole. Pereira shot a 64 to lead his team to the top of the leaderboard at 25 under, two strokes ahead of Jon Rahm's Legion XIII and Phil Mickelson's HyFlyers GC. Torque and Legion XIII have won multiple LIV Golf tournaments, but the HyFlyers have yet to break through as a team. Mickelson also has a chance at an individual title; he's tied for fourth with two Torque players, Pereira and Sebastián Muñoz. The last time Mickelson won a tournament, he made history, winning the 2021 PGA Championship at age 51 to become the oldest golfer to win a men's major. While he would love to win the LIV Golf individual title, he says a team victory on Sunday would be even more special. "The experience of sharing it with teammates … I think that would probably mean a little more, which is very unusual to say in a game that's such an individual sport," Mickelson said. [Read more: How to watch LIV Golf Hong Kong 2025: Date, time, TV channels, streaming] Like Mickelson, Uihlein and Casey are each seeking their first LIV Golf individual title. Unlike Mickelson, both have celebrated multiple LIV Golf wins from a team standpoint. But Uihlein is tired of knocking on the individual door. "I've had four runners-up, so getting that first win would be awesome," said Uihlein, a two-time winner on The International Series. "I think that's kind of the goal at the start of every year is to get a win. To get a team win would be nice as well, but an individual win would be fantastic." Casey, who has won 21 titles in 13 different countries in his career and came close last year at LIV Golf Hong Kong when he reached a three-man playoff, was asked what a win on Sunday might mean. "Every win is special, from the most recent to the very first that I ever had," he said. "Hopefully, I can answer that again tomorrow." [Read more: 2025 LIV Golf Hong Kong odds, predictions: Favorites, picks from the field] Garcia's Fireballs won the most recent LIV Golf tournament in Adelaide. Last year at LIV Golf Andalucía, Garcia won the individual title and was part of the team win on his favorite course, Valderrama. He matched Uihlein's 64 on Saturday but did it with less stress, going bogey-free. "It's an ideal kind of golf course," Garcia said of Hong Kong Golf Club. "It's an old-style, traditional kind of style, which I love. It's a similar course to what you might see in like Valderrama or something like that I've always enjoyed. Very happy to be here and playing and doing well. We'll give it another shot tomorrow."

Paul Casey and Bryson DeChambeau jabs continue as Crushers GC start hot at LIV Golf Hong Kong
HONG KONG – Paul Casey enjoys being a global golfer, and in his professional career, he's won 21 events in 13 different countries. But he's never won in Hong Kong. That could change this weekend after Casey grabbed the first-round lead at LIV Golf Hong Kong, firing a bogey-free 7-under 63 while leading the defending tournament champion Crushers GC to a share of the team leaderboard with Torque GC at Hong Kong Golf Club. [Read more: How to watch LIV Golf Hong Kong 2025: Date, time, TV channels, streaming] "I've always been a global traveler and enjoyed the challenge of trying to tick another country off on the win list," said the 47-year-old Englishman. "It's something that always kind of excited me, to win around golf courses with history that are iconic. So, you can be assured that I'm trying very hard this week because I'd love to add this one to the list." Casey almost added it last year, making the three-man playoff eventually won by Fireballs GC's Abraham Ancer. Casey was knocked out after making a bogey on the par-4 18th playoff hole, and he was staring at bogey on that hole again Friday after finding the water with his approach shot. But after saving par by holing his chip shot, he finished his round with three birdies in his last seven holes. "It's got our full respect every time we play it," Casey said about the 18th. "So to find the water, take a drop and chip in for par was huge." Casey enters Saturday's second round with a two-shot lead over six players: captains Sergio Garcia (Fireballs GC) and Martin Kaymer (Cleeks GC), along with Peter Uihlein (RangeGoats GC), Luis Masaveu (Fireballs), Sebastián Muñoz (Torque) and Wild Card player Chieh-Po Lee, the LIV Golf Promotions winner from Chinese Taipei. The two Wild Card spots were added to the LIV Golf League lineup last season. Lee's position on the leaderboard is the best position for a Wild Card player after any round. Lee failed to finish inside the top 40 in either of his first two LIV Golf starts, but he returned home and told himself that he needed a change in mindset going into this week. It helps that Hong Kong Golf Club is a familiar course to him as a previous member of the Asian Tour. "Today, I just felt more comfortable, not like the first two events," Lee said. Muñoz nearly grabbed the first LIV Golf individual win of his career in the season opener in Riyadh. He eventually tied for second but did not maintain that form the following week in Adelaide, finishing 45th. He started Friday's round with a bogey on the 15th hole before reeling off five consecutive birdies starting with the par-4 17th. "Even though I started with a bogey, with a three-putt, I didn't let it bother me," Muñoz said. "I just gave myself chances and made the first one on 17, and then just kind of went on a roll for a little bit there." [Read more: 2025 LIV Golf Hong Kong odds, predictions: Favorites, picks from the field] Among the six players tied for eighth at 4 under is Casey's captain Bryson DeChambeau, who is seeking his first professional win on a course under 6,900 yards. Hong Kong Golf Club played at 6,691 yards on Friday. He's not surprised to see Casey atop the leaderboard. "Paul, just being the ball-striker he is, the Popeye forearms and great iron player, he loves this place," DeChambeau said. "It's an iron player's paradise." Still, DeChambeau wasn't willing to concede the tournament to his teammate just yet. "I'm happy for Paul being at 7 under, but I'm going to come kick his ass here by the end of the week," he said with a smile. Don't expect Casey to back down as he chases another checkmark on his global list. "I'll not lie – there's an element where you're like, I want to beat him," Casey said. "So, I think he feels that, too." TEAM SCORES LIV Golf's new scoring format this season now involves all four scores now counting in every round in the team competition. (Click here for more on the new format). Here are the results and scores for each team after Friday's Rd. 1 of LIV Golf Hong Kong. T1. CRUSHERS GC -12 (Casey 63, DeChambeau 66, Howell III 67, Lahiri 72) T1. TORQUE GC -12 (Muñoz 65, Niemann 67, Ortiz 68, Pereira 68) 3. FIREBALLS GC -11 (Garcia 65, Masaveu 65, Puig 68, Ancer 71) T4.

SMASH GC +3 (McDowell 68, Gooch 70, Koepka 72, Kokrak 73) Wild Cards: Lee 65, Kim 75 ROUND 1 NOTES BRYSON'S WEDGE ISSUES: Crushers GC Captain Bryson DeChambeau's attempt to win on a short course like Hong Kong Golf Club will come down to whether he can dial in his wedges. DeChambeau shot a 4-under 66 Friday but knows there is work left to do. "My wedges are not great right now," DeChambeau said. "I've got to figure that out. I think this golf course is really unique and cool. There's a lot of holes you can get after it, but you've got to have your iron play just on point. If it's not, you're going to get penalized. [Read more: LIV Golf Hong Kong preview: Can Bryson DeChambeau's Crushers GC repeat?] "It wasn't terrible, obviously, but I just have higher expectations for myself. I just continue to work. I've got to keep working. It's obviously not fully there yet." NEW YOUNG GUNS: Two of LIV Golf's new young signees this season are in the top 10 after the first round. Fireballs GC's Luis Masaveu is tied for second after his 5-under 65 while Iron Heads GC's Yubin Jang is tied for eighth at 4 under. Both players are 22 years old and part of LIV Golf's youth movement that also includes another new player, Legion XIII's Tom McKibbin, who shot a 3-under 67 and is tied for 14th. SOLID KAYMER: Cleeks GC Captain Martin Kaymer's first two results this season have left him little to celebrate – a tie for 44th in Riyadh and a solo 49th in Adelaide. A return to Hong Kong Golf Club, a course on which he's competed on since 2007, may be just what he needs to turn around his season. Kaymer's bogey-free 5-under 65 on Friday leaves him tied for second and feeling much better about the state of his game. "It has been a while ago that I had a really solid round the way I played today without many mistakes, making a few putts," Kaymer said. "I could have played another nine holes because I was in good shape. It's one of those venues that I've always enjoyed. Maybe I can switch to the forward gear now." [Read more: As he Masters team golf, Bubba Watson calls LIV 'the greatest thing I've ever done'] CASEY LOVES THE VIBES: First-round leader Paul Casey played a practice round Thursday with Hong Kong Golf Club Captain Andy Kwok. The two spoke at length about the course's history and architecture. But there's another element that Casey enjoys about this week. "Hong Kong is one of those cities where I would come back here in a heartbeat just to visit and travel to and experience," Casey said. "That's part of it. Sometimes you need the whole package to kind of give you that vibe for the week." PHIL'S PUTTING: HyFlyers GC Captain Phil Mickelson posted a solid 3-under 67 and walked off the course Friday pleased with his putting. Not only did he switch putters this week, he's also leaning heavily on caddie Jon Yarbrough's knowledge of AimPoint to help read greens. "He's really helped me on these greens to get a better visual of what the ball is going to do," said Mickelson, whose 28 putts left him tied for 15th in the field for first-round putting. "These greens have always been challenging for me, and I feel like we got pretty dialed in."
