ADELAIDE, Australia (AP) — Talor Gooch saw his double-digit overnight lead almost evaporate but rallied late to win the inaugural LIV Australia tournament Sunday at the Grange Golf Club.After two bogey-free 10-under 62 rounds, Gooch shot a 1-over 73 to clinch his maiden LIV Golf tournament victory by three strokes from a fast-moving Anirban Lahiri. As tournament leader, the 31-year-old American began his round on the first hole Sunday in the shotgun-start format and posted a birdie at the par-3 fifth but his bogey-free run finally ended at the par-5 seventh.He dropped a shot on the eighth and the slide worsened with a double-bogey at the 10th, which saw his lead over a fast-moving Lahiri cut to just two strokes with still eight holes to play.That was as close as it got as Gooch rallied with birdies at the 11th and 13th and made par at the par 4 18th to clinch the victory and $4 million of the $20 million purse.Lahiri shot 65 to finish second at 16-under, two shots ahead of a four-wa...

Garcia ready to get back to work after suffering first loss

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 07:49:09 GMT

But he planned on getting right back in the gym and returning whenever he can.“I’m already looking past it,” Garcia told The Associated Press. “You know, it’s all good. Lost today, but ready to get back into it whenever I can, which is in like three months. So from that, get right back into it.”Easier said than done, since Garcia will have to temporarily wear the tag of someone who appeared to get right out of the fight by taking a knee after Davis’ wicked left-handed dart to his body.It was a shot that solidified Davis as one of the sport’s pound-for-pound best fighters, and sent Garcia back down boxing’s ladder.Though one of the hardest things for...
