LIV Golf Mexico City: Legion XIII has strong Round 3 to rally for the win

Some of the LIV Golf League’s biggest names put on a show down the stretch in the final round of LIV Golf Mexico City, but it was Joaquin Niemann who ultimately claimed the individual title on Sunday at Club de Golf Chapultepec, while Legion XIII held on to win the team title.

Torque GC captain Niemann started the round two shots behind leader Bryson DeChambeau, but he charged up the leaderboard on Championship Sunday to finish at 16 under and claim his third victory in six events this season.

Playing in the final group with DeChambeau and Cameron Smith, Niemann carded seven birdies and only a single bogey for a final-round, 6-under 65. The victory keeps him firmly in the lead for the season-long individual championship race, in which he finished runner-up last season to Jon Rahm.

Niemann finished three shots ahead of Ripper GC’s Lucas Herbert, who came out of nowhere with a final-round, 10-under 61 — tying the course record in the process, and DeChambeau, who carded a 70 on Sunday.

Legion XIII won the team competition despite starting the day five shots off the lead held by Ripper GC, but they made up ground quickly and eventually finished at 28 under, holding off Ripper GC (26 under), who finished second, and 4Aces GC (21 under), who rounded out the podium in third.

Captain Rahm (68), Tyrrell Hatton (68), Caleb Surratt (69) and Tom McKibbin (70) combined for Legion XIII’s second win of the 2025 season and sixth overall team title since their inception at the beginning of 2024. The victory also moved Legion XIII to first place in the season-long team standings, jumping ahead of Fireballs GC, who had been in the driver’s seat for most of the season.
