Legion XIII leading the way

The team is in first place with a 5-stroke lead over Crushers GC.

Tyrrell Hatton, of Legion XIII, is on a roll today. He is leading after shooting a bogey-free round 7-under 64. He is 13-under for the tournament. He finished the round with 3 consecutive birdies.

“I’ll probably be a little bit nervous tomorrow, but I’d say that’s a good thing,” said Hatton, whose last professional title was in 2021. “Obviously if you’re nervous about something, you genuinely care about it.”

Legion XIII captain Jon Rahm is tied for 3rd place after he had 9 birdies today to finish 9-under.

Entering this week, Rahm was unsure how competitive he would be after withdrawing during the second round of LIV Golf Houston with a foot infection that forced him to miss the U.S. Open. After an opening 70, he produced the lowest score of the second round, an 8-under 63 that included nine birdies. That ties for his lowest round relative to par in LIV Golf.
 
“I needed a round like that to get close to the lead,” Rahm said. “Obviously, Tyrrell finished fantastic. Still a little bit of work to do tomorrow.”

Hatton, Catlin and DeChambeau will play in the leaders’ group off the first tee, with Rahm playing with Ripper GC Captain Cameron Smith and Torque GC’s Carlos Ortiz – the winner two weeks ago at LIV Golf Houston – in the earlier group that starts off the first tee at 12:05 p.m. CDT. Smith and Ortiz are tied for fifth at 8 under.
