Last week’s winner, Dean Burmeister [Music] off the first T. That’s perfect. Dean Burmister held his nerve in the playoff to win his second live golf league title in Chicago last weekend. He birdied 18. Rah by a state could only par the first playoff hole and he’s brought his form with him to Indianapolis. This is Matthew Wolf his second shot at the par 412. Missed some tournaments recently with a back problem. Plays for Bubba’s Range Goats and what a start for Matthew Wolf. Well, that certainly wasn’t the whole day when we expected to see the Eagles on this early. No. Now Neman would have been paying attention to Bryson’s ball. How it reacted on the green just fly at the distance instead of flying it past the pin. Now WCO’s turn for birdie. Change putters this week. WCO strikes an early blow. Whilst that was happening, Jason Kran played his second of 13. It’s a par five. Yeah. The shortest par five on the golf course. There it is. The Eagle ties in with Matthew Wolf for the very, very early lead. A moment ago at the seventh, Bubba Watson, who’s enjoying a real renaissance particularly in the second half of this season. an eagle at the seventh and he’s in an early tie for the lead on two under. Eubin Jang needs a top 13 finish to stand a chance of avoiding relegation. His best in his first season in the lift golf league, tied 21st in the UK. He started with bogey at eight, but then birded the ninth after that glorious second shot. DJ his second from the rough at 12. That was a great shot. Mark Leashman has tied the lead. It’s an eagle fest at the seventh in the early stages. The par five, of course, he teed off at five. Open with a couple of pars. The Australian. Oh, that’s delightful from Mark Leechman. Back to Neman’s marker shot at the third. He’s elite now from sand. Wow, this would be a very welcome third straight birdie to start his first round. It’d be a dream start, Arlo. It is a dream start for Waco Nean. He’s birded his opening three holes. He leads in Indianapolis and crucially is three shots clear at the Spaniard. Well, Aanser has enjoyed another solid season in the Live Golf League. He has no worries about his future out here. That was for Eagle at seven. We’ve had three Eagles there already today. Sebastian Munoz, well, he’s seventh overall after six top 10 finishes for the Colombian. That was his second shot at the fourth. Uncle Phil, he can get on a hot putting streak too, can he, David? Yeah, he ties the lead. So, relegation means relegation from the LI golf league. Some big names in trouble. This is a few moments ago. Ian Holter down in 51st. This was for Eagle at seven to get him to one under par. Ian is in the points positions in the early going. Mito Pereira, his second shot at the same hole. He double bogeied the fifth, but then rolled that in for Eagle to get back to level par. Here’s Anerban Lihiri for birdie at one. He ties the lead. Here’s Lee Westwood at the seventh. He’s one under pass so far. This is his second shot into the par five. Beautiful. Lee Westwood for Eagle at seven. Great start for Westy to allay his relegation fears. He’s three under. Well, Sam Horsefield plays for the Majestics, who are likely headed for a playin match against the Iron Heads to qualify for the team championship next week. That was for Eagle at 17 for Sam, the highest place, Majestic, and he’s in 39th in the standings. Danny Lee, his second shot at 15. The Iron Heads, Kevin Nar’s team, they are in 13th. Both teams with a good showing here could avoid that playin match and they’ve started reasonably well. Second shot at the third for Anaban Liheri. The Crushers have won three times this season, Bryson Dambo’s team, but they cannot catch Legion 13, led by John Ram for the number one seed for the team championship next week. Here’s A Banser from the middle of the fairway at 12. [Applause] Beautiful shot. Abraham answer to tie the lead with Danny Lee in the early going here. [Applause] Dustin Johnson hit his second shot at 16. Danny Lee add 18 is an iron head and this to retake the solo lead. [Music] Well, I don’t think mcurial is a word that does Daddy Lee justice. He is capable of playing sensational golf. Gentlemen, let’s hear it one more time. Looked like Neman’s ball came to rest in a divot and it’s a sandfilled divot hole. I don’t think it’s too much of a problem. And Marco will have that to tie Danny Lee for the lead. Here’s Bubba. His second shot at 13, the par five. Beautiful [Music] shot. Beautiful to go four under. And Waco Nean who came into the competition leading the way. This is the final regular season event of the season. A top prize for the Live Golf League individual champion of $18 million on the line. Only he or John Rahm can take the title. If he finishes first or second, he takes care of business. He will be the champion. [Music] Oh, that’s well done. After that horrific first attempt, DJ ties for the lead. And John Ram has made one birdie. He’s one under. [Music] Stunning shot. Well, Sebastian Munoz double bogey the par for fifth. Subsequently, he’s made four birdies and this is his second shot into the 10th and a terrific opportunity to make it five in a row. Yeah, he’s had a great year. Suanne, you watch cam second at 16. Tucked hole location on the left with a little help of win. That was a pitching wedge. Oh, how did that release forward like that? That’s unusual. Well, elsewhere here in Indianapolis, Anthony Kim was 11 over after his opening round in Chicago. Then went eight under over the weekend. That was his third at the 15th. And how about another chip in? This is at the ninth for Carlos Ortiz to get him to one under par. He missed the playoff in Chicago last weekend by a single shot. Now Waco Nean an opportunity to get to seven under par. That’s 28 on this front side. Alo a seven under par. 28 on the front nine for our champion elect WCO Nean with nine to play on day one at Live Golf Indianapolis. and Torqu have a twoshot lead in the team competition. And this is Sebastian’s second shot at 12. The distance control has been amazing. And by the way, that would be seven consecutive birdies if he rolls it in. Well, he’s done it. Wow. Here’s DJ at the first. [Applause] Back at 10. John Ramz doesn’t look like a great lie here. [Music] It’s well played. Here’s Louis Hazen and he has this for birdie at one. Oh, and here’s Phil. And one for the dry cleaners. Look at this. No, he just never ceases to amaze. Here was Bubba at the power five 13th. This was for Eagle. Oh. Oh. Yes sir. Cam Smith on 17 for birdie. [Music] [Applause] Oh, the atmosphere out here is magnificent. And if this putt drops, if this drops, they’ll go nuts. But Bryson will still be six back. [Applause] [Music] Maybe that’ll get him off to a start. John Rom’s putting stats in comparison to the field not his strength from this average 5 to 10 feet. Ian Palter at the moment threatening the near impossible and climbing out of the relegation zone where he’s been stuck all season. He’s four under par after that birdie at 14. This is how Patrick Reed got to six under par. This is at the 12th hole. Something special in the offing here. There we go. Eagle for Patrick Reed. Things changing by the second here at the moment in Indianapolis. Abraham Ana has tied the leaders on seven under par after rolling that birdie put in at 17. Cam Smith at one, his secondh [Applause] the 14th T. These are shots that Patrick’s been working on. His right pins. Used to work it so far from right to left. Wouldn’t be able to do it here with that tree. Butchman working on straightening out his ball flat, even cutting them into pins like this. [Music] Friendly little bunch there, you’d have to say 13. Waco a nice open look. Patrick Reed did make his birdie. Oh yes. So we have a new leader in Patrick Reed, but another eagle opportunity for Waco Nean to leave above him on nine under. Well, elsewhere Cameron Tringali knows a top 10 finish would probably get him into the lock zone, the top 24 and secure his live golf league spot for next season. Well, he is 11th after that birdie at the eighth. Four under path for Cameron Grae McDall. He teed off at 14. His first birdie came with the seventh and then went back to back at the eighth to get the Northern Irishman back to one under path. Andy Ogal Tree just eagled 17 which would get him out of the drop zone and it would drop Henrik Stenson back below the line. DJ for birdie. This one just a little downhill. Left the rider should come on back. Oh, great cut. [Music] Now Sebastian Munoz for the lead. Sebastian Munoz has birded 10 of his last 11 holes. 446 yd hole. He’s got 56 left of the pin. And it’s a back pin. Looks good. If it bounces, it does. Brandon Grace played so well of late. T-shot at 11. Oh, he’s played some amazing golf recently. Brandon Grace. Sebastian Munoz. Remember he teed off at the second. He par his opening two holes. His first birdie came at four. He double boged five. This a few moments ago at 17. This is remarkable. He’s birded 11 of his last 12 holes. Thomas Peters has been quietly working his way up the leaderboard. He’s got it in seven under to the tea add one and a birdie for Sebastian Munoz on the par four and he’ll cart a 59. We can find no evidence of a 59 that contained a double bogey on we know the Live Golf League on the PGA Tour, on the DP World Tour, the Cornferry Tour or the LPGA or the Grateful Dead Tour. Yeah, perfect. And a second shot for Sebastian Munoz. Only a wedge. Close. Good grace. Wow. What a round of golf. So, Sebastian Munoz for 59. 59 for Sebastian Munoz. He was guarded only the third sub60 round in live golf league history. He’s done it despite a double bogey at the fifth hole. He’s subsequently birded 13 of his final 14 holes. 14 bodies in total. That is a very special round of golf. 12 under par. It’s a fourshot lead and it may well be the first time in top professional golf history that a player has broken 60 with a double bogey. [Music]
