INCHEON, South Korea (AP) --- Bryson DeChambeau held off a big charge from
Charles Howell III with birdies on his last two holes for a 6-under 66 on
Sunday for a two-shot victory at LIV Golf Korea, his first title since winning
the U.S. Open last summer.
DeChambeau, who played in the final group at the Masters and lost a 36-hole
lead at LIV Golf Mexico City last week, started the third and final round at
the Jack Nicklaus Golf Club with a four-shot lead and was even par for the
round through nine holes.
Howell, his Crushers teammate, closed with a 63. They were tied until Howell
made a bogey on the 16th hole, and DeChambeau rolled in a long birdie putt at
the 17th for a two-shot cushion going to the par-5 18th. They both birdied.
DeChambeau finished at 19-under 197 and won $4 million for his first LIV Golf
League title since September 2023 and his third overall.
Crushers won the team title by nine shots over Smash.
DeChambeau next joins what likely will be 13 other players from LIV Golf in the
PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club on May 15-18. DeChambeau was runner-up to
Xander Schauffele in the PGA Championship last year.
