In an exciting definition that kept everyone on the edge of their seats, Jon Rahm and his Legion XIII team managed to prevail over Bryson DeChambeau and the Crushers in a dramatic playoff during the LIV Golf League team final. The event, held at The Cardinal at Saint John’s, saw Legion XIII and the Crushers tie at the top with an impressive score of 20 under par. The Stinger team from South Africa lagged behind, finishing at 12 under par in this final that featured the participation of three teams. Tension reached its peak when Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton, with birdies on the last two holes of the regular round, forced a playoff. The definition extended to the second extra hole, where both players achieved decisive birdies, securing the victory for Legion XIII.Caleb Surratt, former Tennessee player, led Legion XIII with a standout round of 64 strokes. Tom McKibbin and Hatton contributed with scorecards of 65 and 66 strokes respectively.Tyrrell and I managed to react a little late, but better late than never. When the playoff arrived, I felt quite confident, we are both very good wedge players, and if we simply put the ball in the fairway, I was sure we would have many opportunities.
