Louis Oosthuizen closed with a seven-under-par 65 on Sunday to finish in a share of second in the LIV Golf-Adelaide event at Grange Golf Club in Adelaide, Australia.

In an event which featured LIV Golf’s first team play-off, Cameron Smith sent local fans into a frenzy by leading the Australian Ripper GC quartet to the team title over Oosthuizen’s all-South African Stinger GC, who finished level with Ripper on 53-under to force the first play-off.

Oosthuizen and Dean Burmester both missed seven-foot birdie putts at the first play-off hole to let the Australians off the hook, and Smith and Marc Leishman secured the team title the second time around when the South Africans both found the sand.

Former Open champion Oosthuizen pressed hard for his first individual title on the breakaway circuit, but his seven-birdie 65 was only good enough for second place.

Twice major winner Jon Rahm fired by an eagle at the par-five seventh, shot a final-round 64 and shared third place on 16-under with Charl Schwartzel (64), Burmester (67), Andy Ogletree (65) and Joaquin Niemann (66).

American Brendan Steele took the individual honours. He was the overnight leader after a sizzling eight-under-par 64 in Saturday’s second round, and Steele kept his nerve to back up with a final-round 68 and win the $20-million event by a stroke on 18-under.
