2024 LIV Golf Hong Kong highlights
Abraham Ancer secured his place at the top of the leaderboard of LIV Golf Hong Kong thanks to two spectacular first rounds of 7 under and 8 under. However, by only getting 2-over on Sunday, he could not prevent Paul Casey and Cam Smith from forcing him into a playoff.
But Abraham Ancer managed to pull himself together in sudden death and birdied the first extra hole while his two competitors bogeyed it. The Mexican thus achieved his first victory on the circuit. His previous best result was third place at the 2023 LIV Golf Bedminster.
One of the highlights of the day was the spectacular third round by Anthony Kim, who scored a 5 under 65. Kim had seven birdies and two bogeys on Sunday, finishing with a score of 3 over for 54 holes to place 50th on the leaderboard.
