Watch: Aussie fans go wild as Chase Koepka makes ace at LIV Golf Adelaide’s ‘Watering Hole’

“A once-in-a-lifetime experience,” said Koepka. “It’s something to always remember.”

LIV Golf unveiled its party hole – named the Watering Hole – at the Grange Golf Club over the weekend at LIV Golf Adelaide in Australia.

Similar to the WM Phoenix Open’s “The Coliseum” par-3 16th, there was plenty of fun to be had at the Watering Hole thanks to numerous bars, and of course, a DJ (it is “Golf, But Louder” after all). And just like the PGA Tour stop in Phoenix, the Aussie fans absolutely erupted when an ace was made.

On Sunday, fans showered Smash GC’s Chase Koepka with beer when he aced the par-3 12th for just the second hole-in-one in LIV’s short history.

“A once-in-a-lifetime experience,” said Koepka. “It’s something to always remember.”

Matthew Wolff recorded LIV’s first ace last year at its event near Boston.

LIV Golf Adelaide: Talor Gooch, 4 Aces win Down Under

Cam Smith, Bryson DeChambeau chug a beer out of a shoe at LIV Golf Adelaide

When in Australia …

When in Australia. That’s how the saying goes, right?

This week, the LIV Golf League is Down Under for its event at Grange Golf Club in Adelaide. Through 36 holes, Talor Gooch owns a 10 (!!) shot lead after posting consecutive 10-under 62s.

However, the most note-worthy trend happening at the tournament might be the “shoeys.” Don’t know what those are?

Well, it’s when you pour a beer into a shoe and chug it.

Wouldn’t say it sounds very tasty, but it is very funny to watch someone else do it.

A few players have taken part in the tradition so far this week, local Aussie Cam Smith and Bryson DeChambeau.

Smith did one while attending a DJ set put on for the fans attending the tournament, while DeChambeau polished one off at the range.

Would you do one of these?

Talor Gooch fires another 10-under 62 to lead LIV Golf Adelaide by 10 shots with one round to go

Gooch has yet to win on the LIV Golf League.

On Friday, Talor Gooch shot the lowest round of his professional career during the first round of LIV Golf Adelaide at the Grange Golf Club in Australia.

On Saturday, he did it again.

Thanks to eight birdies and an eagle, Gooch sits 20 under after two rounds, is bogey-free through 36 holes and leads the tournament by 10 shots. It would take a meltdown of epic proportions for Gooch not to be the man holding the trophy Sunday afternoon Down Under.

Six players — including Brooks Koepka and Abraham Ancer — are tied for second at 10 under.

As for some of the other big names, Cam Smith and Phil Mickelson are 9 under through two rounds and are tied for eighth. Dustin Johnson, Sergio Garcia and Patrick Reed are 8 under, T-13, while Bryson DeChambeau is 6 under, 14 back and tied for 24th.

On the team side, the RangeGoats, who are captained by Bubba Watson and benefiting from Gooch’s stellar play, are 36 under and lead Stinger GC by three. The 4Aces GC is in solo third at 29 under.

Talor Gooch shoots lowest round of professional career, a 10-under 62, and leads LIV Golf Adelaide by four

Here’s how it stands after day one from Australia.

Talor Gooch went deep during the opening round of LIV Golf Adelaide at the Grange Golf Club to lead by four after the event’s first 18 holes.

He played his opening 10 holes 4 under after starting his round on the par-3 12th, and then got hot. Gooch made birdies on Nos. 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10 coming home and signed for a first-round bogey-free 10-under 62. The 31-year-old doesn’t have a top-10 finish in three LIV starts so far this season but is in prime position to make a run at his first title on the Saudi Arabia-backed circuit.

Four shots behind Gooch are Richard Bland and Dean Burmester at 6 under. Burmester’s highlight of the day came at the par-4 eighth where he made eagle, while Bland, like Gooch, kept blemishes off his card and signed for a bogey-free day.

Five players are tied for fourth at 5 under and eight are tied for ninth at 4 under.

As for big names, Cam Smith and Brooks Koepka both sit at 3 under, T-17. Phil Mickelson is tied for 24th at 2 under while Dustin Johnson sits T-29, 1 under.

LIV Golf is in the land Down Under.

For its fourth event of the season, the LIV Golf League is at Grange Golf Club in Adelaide, South Australia, for LIV Golf Adelaide. It’s a home game for the Australian team, which 2022 Open Championship winner Cameron Smith captains, but it’s also the first event since the Masters, where Brooks Koepka and Phil Mickelson tied for second.

Grange Golf Club is a par-72 layout measuring 6,946 yards. Charles Howell III, Danny Lee and Koepka won the first three LIV events of the season. Play gets underway Friday.

Get to know the four international courses hosting the LIV Golf League in 2023

Greg Norman’s Saudi Arabia-backed league will return to competition in Feb. 2023.

After hosting eight events in its inaugural season in 2022, the LIV Golf Invitational Series has re-branded to the LIV Golf League for 2023 and its schedule is starting to take shape.

On Monday, Golfweek confirmed El Camaleon Golf Club in Riviera Maya, Mexico, which has regularly held the PGA Tour’s World Wide Technologies Championship at Mayakoba, would host LIV’s first event of its new season, Feb. 24-26. The Saudi Arabia-backed circuit officially announced the Mexico event Wednesday, as well as two additional international stops in Singapore and Spain after previously announcing an event in Australia.

LIV has revealed four of its 14 events for 2023 and could potentially host as many as six of those events internationally if it returns to one or both of the Centurion Club in England or Royal Greens Golf and Country Club in Saudi Arabia, which staged events in LIV’s inaugural season in 2022.
