Bryson DeChambeau has officially entered the LIV Golf winner’s circle, but that accomplishment doesn’t begin to describe what went down at The Greenbrier on Sunday. 

After posting a bogey-free 9-under 61 on Saturday, DeChambeau accomplished the unthinkable in rainy White Sulphur Springs conditions on Sunday morning.

The former U.S. Open Champion made 13 birdies in the final round—including one on his very last hole—to shoot a historic 12-under 58. 

With a 54-hole total of 23 under, he won the event by six shots. Mito Pereira finished solo second at 17 under and Richard Bland, Matthew Wolff and David Puig finished T3 at 16 under.

DeChambeau opened his round with seven consecutive 3s, only one of them a par. He recorded one bogey on the par-3 8th and only four pars total throughout the record-breaking round. 

His 36-hole total on the weekend was a mind-boggling 119. 

DeChambeau’s Sunday score is the first sub-60 round to be recorded on LIV. Jim Furyk is the only PGA Tour player to have a 58, setting the mark in 2016 at the Travelers Championship. 

When his final putt dropped on the 18th green, DeChambeau pounced into the air to celebrate the spectacular finish, and the crowd at The Old White couldn’t get enough of his burst of emotion. 

“I don’t know what to say other than thank you to everyone in our camp,” DeChambeau said.
