His dominance on the course has solidified his status as one of the top contenders on the LIV Golf circuit.

Mexican golfer Abraham Ancer also delivered a strong performance, finishing third at 5 under after a solid round of 66. On the other hand, Bryson DeChambeau struggled in the final round, carding a 74 to tie for 30th place at 3 over par.
