LIV Greenbrier
Bryson DeChambeau delivered the first sub-60 round in LIV history on Sunday to win LIV Greenbrier. His 58 included 13 birdies, 4 pars, and a single bogey. Sunday's wet conditions, coupled with preferred lies, seemed to set the perfect stage for his historic round that was capped with a 40-foot bomb to birdie the 18th.
5️⃣8️⃣ FOR THE TITLE!

The win was Bryson’s first LIV victory and added to his outside chance for a Ryder Cup spot. He has played well lately in his LIV appearances, with a second-place finish in Valderrama along with the win this week, and seems to have figured out his driver again. With the captain picks still up in the air on the US team, Bryson has shown strong form recently, and a couple more good results could make him hard to overlook.
Mito Pereira came in second and led Team Torque to victory on the team side. His final round 63 included a hole out from the fairway on the 2nd hole for an eagle. While six shots back from DeChambeau, Pereira’s 62 and 63 on the weekend was good enough for $2.25 million.
PGA Tour - Wyndham Championship
Lucas Glover won for the fifth time on the PGA Tour at the Wyndham championship. Glover made his move on Saturday with a 62 that gave him a share of the lead heading into Sunday. The win moved Glover inside the top 70 to get into the playoffs starting next week in Memphis.
Russell Henley finished just behind Glover and faced a couple of tough breaks coming home closing with three bogeys. This was Henley’s fourth year in a row finishing in the top 10 at the Wyndham.
Justin Thomas just missed a spot in the playoffs finishing in a tie for 12th in the tournament and at 71st in the FedEx Cup standings. Thomas is now off until any fall events he chooses to play and will wait to see if he gets a captain’s pick for the Ryder Cup.
Also missing out on the playoffs are Adam Scott, Shane Lowry, and Joel Dahmen.
Ladies European Tour & LPGA - Women's Scottish Open
Celine Boutier wins for the second week at Dundonald Links in Scotland. Starting Sunday with a three-shot lead, the French golfer managed to sustain her dominance, finishing the event two shots clear of the field.
South Korea's Hyo-Joo Kim gave a commendable chase with her final round bogey-free 65. Unfortunately for Kim, Boutier’s consistency ensured the top spot was just out of reach.
Ruoning Yin from China finished third, overcoming a shaky two-over-par start on day one to deliver impressive scores in the next three rounds, concluding with a 66 on Sunday.
Maja Stark of Sweden tied for the 4th spot and made a hole-in-one during her final round.
As the Scottish Open wraps up, the attention now eagerly shifts to the next week's Major Championship, the Women's Open at Walton Heath.
