Sebastián Muñoz carded the third sub-60 round in LIV Golf’s brief history Friday, a remarkable run that included a double-bogey.
Munoz drained a short birdie putt for a 12-under 59 at the LIV event at The Club at Chatham Hills in Indianapolis. He’s three shots ahead of Dustin Johnson after the opening round.
Munoz stumbled at the par-4 fifth, taking two penalty shots en route to the double-bogey 6. But he responded with birdies on 13 of his final 14 holes, closing with the short putt on the par-4 first (he started on hole No. 2 in the shotgun format) to join Joaquín Niemann and Bryson DeChambeau as the only LIV players to shoot under 60 since the breakaway circuit began in 2022.
Niemann had a 59 at Mayakoba in 2024. DeChambeau fired a 58 at Greenbrier in 2023. Both also came in at 12 under.
Munoz is seventh in the LIV player standings this season.
