Popular names dominated the leaderboard at LIV Golf London as Cameron Smith claimed the individual title while Dustin Johnson’s 4Aces claimed the team title Sunday.
The 29-year-old Aussie claimed his second win since joining the Greg Norman led and Saudi Arabia-backed circuit, this time by just a single shot at 15 under over his Ripper GC teammate Marc Leishman and Patrick Reed of the 4Aces. Smith made bogey on the par-5 18th to sign for a 3-under 68, opening the door for Reed (65) who failed to take advantage and made par. Leishman (66) made birdie to tie Reed at 14 under with Louis Oosthuizen (68) in fourth at 12 under and Johnson (67) rounding out the top five at 10 under.
