Crushers GC captain Bryson DeChambeau gave a candid response to his team’s defeat at the LIV Golf Andalucia, following Anirban Lahiri’s loss in a sudden death play-off hole.

The weekend’s action in Spain saw a dramatic turn of events for the LIV Golf League as table leaders Crushers GC were defeated in a playoff. Sergio Garcia’s Fireballs GC emerged victorious after an impressive finish that secured victory for their captain on his home turf.




Garcia managed to overcome a seven-stroke deficit to win his first LIV Golf individual title on the second sudden death playoff hole against Lahiri. Meanwhile, team-mates Abraham Ancer and David Puig outperformed Crushers captain DeChambeau and Paul Casey in the team aggregate score playoff.

The Fireballs, which includes three Spaniards, walked away with both trophies at Real Club Valderrama. The thrilling conclusion marked the first time in LIV Golf’s brief history that a double play-off took place, and only the second team playoff since LIV Golf Adelaide earlier this year. Garcia started the day at even par, trailing overnight leader Lahiri by seven shots.

However, the 2017 Masters champion played flawlessly for 17 holes, scoring six birdies as he caught up with Lahiri. Despite this, Garcia recorded his only bogey of the day on the par 3 third, finishing on five under 66.

Lahiri birdied the par 5 17th hole to take control of the tournament but missed the putt for a final round 73, falling back to five under and setting up a double play-off.
