Bryson DeChambeau won his fourth LIV Golf title with a “brutal” play-off victory over Canadian wildcard Richard T Lee at Sentosa Golf Club in Singapore.<\/p>\n
American DeChambeau secured the trophy at the first extra hole despite finding water off the tee, after both players had finished on 14 under par.<\/p>\n
Lee birdied four of his final six holes to set the clubhouse target but could not maintain that momentum.<\/p>\n
The first play-off hole saw DeChambeau dump his ball in a lake as they played down the 18th, immediately handing his opponent an advantage.<\/p>\n
But Lee’s conservative approach backfired as DeChambeau rescued a par five.<\/p>\n
Lee then agonisingly missed a short par putt and DeChambeau, clearly surprised at greenside, was able to celebrate a win.<\/p>\n
“What a day, that was crazy,” DeChambeau told TNT Sports.<\/p>\n
“When I hit it in the water, the wind just took it way out of line, it was brutal. I managed to gather myself and hit a 300-yard three wood to get back in it.<\/p>\n
“I had to go for it and attacked it. I feel so bad for Richard. I wanted to go and play an extra hole. Sport is brutal – you never want to see someone miss a putt like that.”<\/p>\n
Lee’s runner-up finish is the highest achieved by a wildcard in a LIV event and earned the 35-year-old $2.25m (\u00a31.7m) from the $20m (\u00a315.1m) individual prize fund.<\/p>\n
“It was a short putt and I wanted to just hit it hard, and I hit it a little too hard,” Lee said.<\/p>\n
“I think the adrenaline was pumping a little bit. Then again, I felt like I had it this week. I played really well. Hopefully next week I can try again.”<\/p>\n
DeChambeau, 32, collected $4m (\u00a33.1m) for his victory, with England’s Lee Westwood, 52, finishing third on 12 under to claim $1.5m (\u00a31.16m).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
