“A tradition unlike no other” – Fans react to Talor Gooch doing a ‘shoey’ after winning LIV Golf Adelaide

Talor Gooch claimed his first title in the LIV Golf League by winning the Adelaide event at Grange Golf Club on Sunday. He posted a score of 62-62-73 on three days to aggregate at 19-under, beating India's Anirban Lahiri by a three-stroke margin.

After the Adelaide victory, it was time for some celebration, and Gooch celebrated by doing a 'shoey'. He poured a drink into his shoe and drank it in a typical Aussie way to celebrate the win.

LIV Golf posted the video with the caption,

"When in Australia 🍺👟"
