Taylor Gooch (USA) secured his first victory at LIV Golf.

On the 23rd (local time), Gooch finished the final 3rd round of the LIV Golf 4th tournament Adelaide (total prize money $25 million) held at The Grange Golf Club (par 72, 6,968 yards) in Adelaide, Australia, with a one-stroke loss but completed a 3-stroke victory (19 under par 197 strokes).

Gooch, who had his only win at the 2021 PGA Tour RSM Classic, reached the top for the first time since moving to LIV Golf last year. The winner's prize money is a whopping $4 million (about 5.3 billion KRW). Gooch demonstrated his near-winning skills by finishing in the top 10 in all three tournaments this year.

Starting with a 10-stroke lead, Gooch recorded 3 birdies, 2 bogeys, and 1 double bogey. After his first birdie on the 5th hole (par 4), he had consecutive bogeys on the 7th and 8th holes, and suffered a critical double bogey on the 10th hole (par 5). However, he changed the momentum with 'stepping stone birdies' on the 11th and 13th holes, then finished the remaining 5 holes with pars to secure the victory.

Anirban Lahiri (India) surged with a 7-under-par round to claim second place (16 under par 200 strokes). Patrick Reed finished 3rd (15 under par 201 strokes), and Dustin Johnson (both USA) ended the tournament in 10th place (13 under par 203 strokes).

Masters runner-up Brooks Koepka (USA) placed 19th (12 under par 204 strokes), Danny Lee (New Zealand), who won the LIV Golf 2nd tournament Tucson, finished 25th (10 under par 206 strokes), and 'The Hulk' Bryson DeChambeau (USA) was 28th (9 under par 207 strokes).
