Talor Gooch ecstatic about winning LIV Golf Andalucia event
Talor Gooch was ecstatic about winning the LIV Golf Andalucia event. He missed out on a win last year, and his main focus this year was to get an individual victory. Speaking to Business Today, he said:
“Just felt like I was going to make it. Before I even hit the putt, I was already visualising the fist pump that was coming with it. I’m glad it went in."
Gooch's closing round of 4 under 67 gave him an overall score of -12, allowing him to break away from joint leader Bryson Dechambeau.
"You don't think much past the first one until you get the first one. I definitely didn't have three in mind for the season, but it's cool that we're here, and it's especially cool to have the third one here at Valderrama.”
LIV now moves on to its London event, scheduled to be held between July 7 and 9 at the Centurion Club in Hertfordshire.
