Tyrrell Hatton and Legion XIII dominate LIV Mayakoba Opener

Jon Rahm and his Legion XIII team wasted no time earning their first LIV Golf tournament victory at the season opener, LIV Mayakoba. They posted a 24-under score as a team to beat Bryson DeChambeau's Crusher GC by four shots.

The second-best score from Legion XIII was Tyrrell Hatton. In his first LIV Golf event, the Englishman tied for 8th with Louis Oosthuizen and Cam Smith at 7-under helped by a stunning closing round of 64. 

Legion XIII Captain John Rahm commented “I am very proud of my team. It was incredible. It was very encouraging for me when, on twelve, I look up right before hitting my four-footer, and I see we had a massive lead. I saw Tyrrell was killing it. I don't know what Caleb and Kieran shot, but, I told Kieran on the range, today was his day. I kind of told Tyrrell, jokingly, it'd be a nice day for Tyrrell Hatton to shoot a 64. And I guess he did shoot a 64. So, I guess my encouraging words this morning helped for them.”

Legion XIII look to continue their great form as the LIV Tour moves to Las Vegas for the second event of the season.
