Sebastián Muñoz stunned the LIV Golf circuit as he fired an electrifying 59 in the opening round of the LIV Golf event in Indianapolis, catapulting him to the top of the leaderboard and into the spotlight on the international stage. The Colombian golfer became the fourth player in professional golf history to card a sub-60 round in league competition, joining a rarefied group and injecting fresh excitement into the field.
Muñoz carved his way through the par-72 layout, piecing together an astonishing 12-under round marked by two eagles and eight birdies to storm ahead of the competition. The dazzling display drew praise from spectators and peers alike, who watched as he climbed past world-class rivals, including several former major champions and global stars.
“It was awesome. I was just trying to stay present on every shot. The putts kept dropping, and I couldn’t believe how it kept going,” Muñoz said after scripting his name in history.
Heading into round two, Muñoz holds a commanding lead over Patrick Reed and Bryson DeChambeau, both in close pursuit and eager to narrow the gap. With pressure mounting and veteran contenders angling for a charge, the coming rounds promise high-stakes drama.
The Colombian’s record-smashing performance has ignited fresh buzz for the tournament and the broader LIV Golf series, which continues to draw attention for its bold format and roster of elite talent.
