Rahm Takes The Title!

Hatton faces an enormous 65-ft putt to win the event on the final green, or two putts to force a playoff with Jon Rahm. His slim chance to win outright doesn’t come off. Hatton pushes it left but his par attempt is no certainty, with still six feet between his ball and the hole. 

Meanwhile, Rahm looks on wondering if he may have yet done enough to win outright. Hatton’s putt to take it to a playoff with his Legion XIII captain misses by inches, leaving emotional Rahm to claim his maiden LIV Golf title. Hatton’s bogey leaves him T2 with Joaquin Niemann and Cameron Smith. 

Legion XIII wrap up the team title – its fourth of the season.

Great Effort From Rahm

The Spaniard faces a long putt for birdie and the outright lead on his final hole and the pace is brilliant. Sadly for Rahm, it doesn’t quite have the direction, but it still leaves him with an excellent chance of par and the opportunity to keep the pressure on Hatton behind him. 

He makes the putt to finish on -13 with Hatton level with him with one hole to play.

Hatton Misses Birdie Putt For Outright Lead

Following Rahm’s uncharacteristic miss on the penultimate green, Tyrrell Hatton has the chance to take the outright lead with a long putt. It comes up just short leaving him with a par putt to stay level.

While it’s still anyone’s guess which of the pair will take the title, it’s looking more clearcut for the pair’s team, Legion XIII, who hold a four-shot lead.

RAHM LEAVES THE DOOR OPEN

With Legion XIII teammate Tyrrell Hatton breathing down his neck one behind him on the leaderboard, Jon Rahm misses a short putt on the penultimate hole to draw the two level with Hatton heading to the green on his second-to-last hole. Could we be heading for a playoff?

STUNNER FROM HATTON, BUT NO BIRDIE

It seemed that the Englishman was out of position with his tee shot, but Hatton plays a stunner from the rough and will have a chance of birdie at the par 4 16th to draw alongside Rahm. 

Up ahead, Rahm nestles his birdie putt at the 17th close and will, likely, secure his par. He is still on course for his first LIV Golf title, as Hatton misses his birdie attempt on the right side.

POOR FROM HATTON AT THE 16TH

Visible anger from Hatton at the 16th, as he hits a huge pull with his tee shot. It’s unclear as to where it finished, but with Rahm finding the green at the 17th, Hatton will be hoping that his tee shot is in good condition as he looks to chase down his Captain. 

HATTON MISSES HIS BIRDIE ATTEMPT

Hatton has a great chance to join his teammate, Rahm, at the top of the individual standings, but the Englishman walks after his putt at the 15th before he barely hits it! Hatton remains one back of Rahm with two remaining.

Elsewhere, Ogletree double bogeys the 15th, with his second consecutive double bogey meaning he has dropped down into a share of seventh. Rahm is still one clear with two holes remaining. 

OGLETREE’S PROBLEMS CONTINUE

After a poor drive that required a rules official and barely stayed in bounds, Ogletree calls for another rules official for his next shot, with the American near a cart path. He has already made a double bogey and, with the drop, it seems he is likely to make another.

IT’S NOT OVER YET…

Rahm is in the middle of the fairway at the 16th, but his approach flies the green and nestles down in the thick rough. You’d like to think he would get up and down, but with the pressure on, you never know…

LEGION XIII CRUISING

Leading the team title, Rahm’s Legion XIII are also top of the team standings. Sitting eight shots clear, it’s still tight for the remainder of the teams, with eight teams battling it out for second and third place…

RAHM PARS THE 15TH

The two-time Major winner has a chance to extend his lead with a birdie at the par 4 15th, but his attempt comes up short. Despite the poor putt, he holes the par putt to keep ahead.

To add further, Paul Casey double bogeys the same hole to fall well back. Arguably, it’s Rahm’s tournament to lose right now, as he sits one shot clear with just three holes remaining…

HUGE MISTAKES FROM THE LEADERS

After getting himself into a share of the lead, Ogletree makes a huge mistake at the par 3 14th! Missing the green left, his chip shot doesn’t reach the bank and rolls back to his feet. His next chip finds the green, but he misses his bogey putt, with a double bogey putting him two back.

Away from Ogletree, Rahm pars the 14th, with Casey’s tee shot at the 15th finishing out of bounds! Rahm will be clear with a few holes remaining!

OGLETREE SHARES THE LEAD

This is set for a thrilling finish! Andy Ogletree birdies the 12th and 13th to join Jon Rahm in a share of a lead at the JCB Golf and Country Club! There are five players within two shots of the lead and, with five holes remaining, it’s anyone’s to play for!

CASEY WITHIN ONE

Huge putt for Paul Casey! The Englishman gets a great read off Jon Rahm, with Casey holing his birdie putt to move within one stroke of leader Rahm! It’s not just Casey who makes a move, as fellow countryman, Tyrrell Hatton, holes his birdie putt to move within one! What a finish we have in store…

OGLETREE BIRDIES

Just as a write that, Ogletree birdies the par 4 12th and is now one back of Rahm! The American isn’t giving up and, with six holes remaining, is still within touching distance of the two-time Major winner!

RAHM LEADS BY TWO

The Spaniard is flying at the JCB Golf and Country Club, with Rahm making back-to-back birdies to pull out a two stroke lead over Paul Casey, Tyrrell Hatton and Andy Ogletree with five holes remaining. It seems that Rahm is on course for a first LIV Golf title!
