LIV Golf LIVE: Leaderboard and Day 3 results as Branden Grace beats Dustin Johnson to win in Portland

Thanks so much for joining our coverage of the last round of the LIV Golf Portland event where Branden Grace won the individual event and took home the 4 Aces GC Team Award (Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed, Pat Perez and Talor Gooch).

And ranks (Grace) on an equal footing. What an amazing Final Round out of South Africa. He started two shots off the lead but finished with two thanks to a near flawless run of 65.

There is still some drama that will come out in the final green in team format. Ortiz may be unable to catch Grace, but a birdie in the latter ensures his Fireballs GC will outpace Torque GC to third.

Grace isn’t shy about picking up his driver at the age of 18, but he drove the ball so well that it’s no surprise. The safe approach finds the heart of the Green Zone and victory for South Africa is now a formality.

Grace is now running away. That’s a great up and down from rough for a birder at 17 and it’s less than seven times on his run! Grace is three times ahead and the jackpot of £3.2m is within reach.

Here’s another look at Grace’s 16 slide.

Grace misses the waterway at Bar 5 17 and his position is pulled to the rough left of the green. It’s tough ground from there but he still has an outside chance to get up and get down for Byrdie. Johnson launched a fierce campaign down the middle but his approach found the front bunker from 211 yards.

Johnson successfully rolled a volleyball at the age of 16 and this takes the former world number 1 to -9, three shots with two playing holes.

Branden Grace was the only one in the last group who missed the green at the age of 16 but the South African chipped in for a bird! Ortiz, who was looking forward to a swing of a shot, is suddenly left with a necessary bird strike and drags her down the hole. Grace leads by two with two slots to play.

It’s two shots now! Grace rolls into a flying position at 15 after a superb approach to move to -11. He is five below par on his tour. Ortiz had a good shot at Birdie himself but the Mexican putter caught a cold and stayed at -10.
