Joaquin Niemann-led Torque GC won the LIV Golf Andalucia team title, beating RangeGoats GC by a 5-stroke margin. This was Torque GC's third LIV Golf title of the 2023 season.

Sebastian Munoz finished fourth with an aggregate of 6-under, while David Puig finished fifth at Real Club Valderrama.

Torque GC teammates celebrated their back-to-back victory on Saudi backed circuit in style. Munoz, Puig, Mito Pereira, and Captain Niemann popped open the champagne and sprayed it on each other, including their respective caddies.

Champagne spraying has become quite a tradition at the Saudi-backed circuit events, and this was the third time Torque GC was following the tradition. However, a few players could be seen struggling with opening the champagne bottle in the video.

Fans had some witty responses to the video of the Torque GC celebrating their win. While some fans congratulated the players, there were few comments on their struggle with opening a champagne bottle.

Here's a look at some of the reactions:

"This is how you celebrate!"
"Does this champagne spraying bit get a bit tired if it’s the same every event?"
"You can tell they’re not use to winning. Half of them can’t even open the bottle 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣"
"The team aspect has failed miserably in my mind but having said that I will rock some team gear though"
"Celebrating without actually winning."
"Puig is playing well. I won't be surprised if he gets a win this year."
"No thanks. I’m sure all 20 people watching loved it"
"Enjoyed this tournament! 👏"
