LIV Golf Invitational - Miami - Day Two

The match play portion of LIV Golf’s season-ending championship is complete. The top four teams over the first two days at Trump National Doral have moved on to championship Sunday, where teams will play stroke play for $34 million worth of prize money.

The match of the day on Saturday determined the last team in the championship. Bryson DeChambeau and Louis Oosthuizen went 23 holes before Oosthuizen beat DeChambeau 1 up. That sent the Stinger GC onto Sunday, joining the 4 Aces, Punch GC and Smash GC in the finale.

The 4 Aces — which had dominated the season –narrowly escaped on Saturday in the semifinals. Dustin Johnson destroyed Shergo Al Kurdi 5 and 3, but Patrick Reed lost to Laurie Canter. Pat Perez and Talor Gooch had to squeak out a 1-up win over Graeme McDowell and Richard Bland in the foursomes match for the Aces to have a chance to cap their terrific season with a $16 million first prize on Sunday.

One of the other featured matches of the day saw Sergio Garcia defeat Cameron Smith 2 and 1. Despite the individual win, the Fireballs couldn’t pull out the team victory. Marc Leishman of Punch GC beat Carlos Ortiz 1 up and Matt Jones and Wade Ormsby defeated the team of Eugenio Chacarra and Abraham Ancer by the same margin to down Garcia’s squad.

In the final match, Smash GC beat the Majesticks in all three matches. Brooks Koepka downed Ian Poulter, Peter Uihlein bested Lee Westwood, and Chase Koepka and Jason Kokrak narrowly got past Henrik Stenson and Sam Horsfield.

Punch is the outlier in the finals. All three of the other teams came into the finals ranked in the top five on the year, but Punch came in having finished 11th in the regular season. However, they did make the biggest move down the stretch by adding Open champion Smith, and that could pay off (literally) for them in a big way on Sunday in Miami.

Individual stroke play is the game on the final day, and all four scores count. The lowest aggregate team score will take home $16 million ($4 million per player). The other three finishing spots aren’t bad, either.

1st: $16 million
2nd: $8 million
3rd: $6 million
4th: $4 million

LOOK: John Daly throws out first pitch at St. Louis Cardinals game https://golfingagency.com/look-john-daly-throws-out-first-pitch-at-st-louis-cardinals-game/ https://golfingagency.com/look-john-daly-throws-out-first-pitch-at-st-louis-cardinals-game/#respond Tue, 13 Sep 2022 13:25:43 +0000 https://golfingagency.com/look-john-daly-throws-out-first-pitch-at-st-louis-cardinals-game/

John Daly is one of the more polarizing figures in the golf world and has always had a flair for the dramatic. On Wednesday, Daly had a chance to dabble on the diamond as he threw out the first pitch prior to the St. Louis Cardinals hosting the Washington Nationals. 

The 56-year old certainly wasn’t fazed by the bright lights as he fired a strike to home plate.

As should come as no surprise, Daly took to the mound at Busch Stadium wearing his classic combination of shorts, sunglasses, and flip flops. 

Daly’s throw was one of the better first pitches that we’ve seen from celebrities in recent years. The likes of Dr. Anthony Fauci, 50 Cent, and Carly Rae Jepsen have produced some of the more brutal first pitches that never made it anywhere near the strike zone.

It’s been a very strong year for Daly, who almost made the cut at the PGA Championship earlier this year with a 2-over par score in the opening round. Over the course of his professional career, Daly has two major titles as he won the PGA Championship in 1991 and the Open Championship in 1995.

Daly definitely did this first pitch justice and it’s honestly one of best ones that’s been delivered throughout recent history.
