Bryson DeChambeau fired the lowest round in LIV Golf history on Sunday, shooting a 12-under-par 58 to win the LIV Golf Greenbrier title.
The 29-year-old American had 13 birdies against a lone bogey to finish on 23-under 187 for the 54-hole event at the resort in White Sulfur Springs, West Virginia.
That was enough for a six-stroke victory over Chile’s Mito Pereira, who fired a closing 63.
South Africans Dean Burmester and Branden Grace ended on 13 under (T7) after final rounds of 66 and 67 respectively.
DeChambeau’s score at the Old White course on the upstart Saudi-backed circuit matched the lowest round in PGA Tour history, the 12-under 58 fired by American Jim Furyk in 2016 at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut.
The Old White hosted a PGA Tour event from 2010 to 2019 and Australian Stuart Appleby fired a 59 in the final round of the inaugural event to win the title.
DeChambeau birdied 22 of his last 34 holes on The Old White for his first victory since the 2021 PGA Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill.
DeChambeau opened with back-to-back birdies, reeled off four in a row starting at the 4th hole, took his lone bogey at the par-three 8th but followed with back-to-back birdies at 9 and 10.
He birdied the par-five 12th then closed with consecutive birdies at the par-three 15th, par-four 16th and par-five 17th, knocking in a six-foot putt, and the par-three 18th, where he sank a long putt from over a ridge in rainy conditions then jumped for joy and pumped his right fist in celebration.
