“I’ve done eight birdies in a row,” Munoz said. “But 13 out of 14, it’s insane. I’ve never sniffed that. Really proud of the way I handled the day.”

Niemann and Bryson DeChambeau, who shot 58 in the final round at The Greenbrier two years ago, are the other LIV players with sub-60 rounds.
It also was the sixth sub-60 round in worldwide golf this year.
