MEXICO CITY, Apr 28: Indian golfer Anirban Lahiri returned a card of two-over 73 in the final round to finish T-22 in LIV Golf Mexico City.
Teeing off from the 18th, Lahiri opened with a birdie and added two more on the second and the 12th.
His bogeys came on the sixth, the 10th and the 13th and he double bogeyed the Par-4 third.
Joaquin Niemann registered his third victory of the season, rallying past two major champions with his mother in attendance for the first time outside of his native Chile.
The 26-year-old Niemann also earned an invite to the U.S. Open, thanks to the LIV Golf exemption he clinched with one tournament to go.
Niemann seemed to make it look easy this weekend, shooting 64-65 after an opening 68 on Friday.
He started the final round three shots behind second round leader Bryson DeChambeau, the Crushers GC captain, and two shots behind Ripper Captain Cameron Smith in the final group but outperformed both major winners, each of whom failed to break par on the par-71 layout.
With the victory, Niemann extended his season-long points lead and guaranteed his exemption into the U.S. Open, no matter what happens next week at LIV Golf Korea. (PTI)
