Before the start of this LIV Golf season, most gave Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm the best odds to win the title. In the last few years, the Spaniard and the American golfer have shown that they are truly dominant figures in this league and that they have a great foundation to achieve success again.
However, the world of golf is often unpredictable, and the latest tournament speaks volumes for that.
LIV Golf Adelaide and the final round gave golf fans everything they wanted.
Anthony Kim, a golfer who returned to the world of golf after 12 years, won his first LIV title and thus delighted everyone who follows LIV Golf. While Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm were as many as five shots ahead of Kim heading into the final round, the 40-year-old managed to close the gap and achieve a very important victory.
At the press conference, Anthony Kim commented on the performance of Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm, aware of how quality golfers they are.
“Yeah, I mean, obviously Bryson and Jon have proven themselves as major championship caliber winners, Ryder Cup players, and have consistently played well for a long time, so I have a tremendous amount of respect for them,“ he said.
“I knew it was going to be an uphill battle today, and I got putts to go my way.
But obviously Bryson got off to a bad start and really just kind of was hanging in there. But Jon was playing halfway decent at first.
When I got close, I felt it was very important for me to be seeing what he was doing, even though my focus needed to be on my game. I liked to know where I was compared to the other leaders.“
The support of the fans was one of the reasons for the success
The American golfer particularly emphasized how impressed he was by the immense support he received from day one to day two, and said that it was precisely this support that resulted in his success. The experienced golfer hopes to have the same support in the future, and Australia will certainly remain in his fond memories.
