Marc Leishman won the individual tournament, shooting 4-under on Sunday to put up a 6-under for the tournament. His strong day was good enough to outlast Charl Schwartzel by a stroke. 

Leishman's final round was also enough to help Ripper GC win the team event at LIV Golf Miami comfortably.

Top moments from Day 3

Marc Leishman wins!

Sergio Garcia and Charl Schwartzel each made a strong push in the final holes on Sunday to try and tie Leishman's score. Garcia only trailed by a stroke entering the final hole, but as he needed a birdie, his tee shot landed far from the fairway. He was in instant trouble, needing a miracle from that point to get a birdie. 

He wound up bogeying instead, clinching the victory for Leishman.

An Eagle for pride

Anthony Kim, who's a wild card this season, was well out of the leaderboard picture, but he was able to make a highlight shot on one of his last holes of the day, draining an impressive shot from the fairway for an eagle on the 10th hole.

A major eagle helps Ripper GC take commanding lead in team play

Marc Leishman's strong final round gave Ripper GC a strong cushion by the middle of Sunday, but it got help from other golfers, too. Matt Jones, who finished the tournament 4-over, sank an eagle on the 16th hole. At the time, Jones' shot put the Ripper GC at 3-over for the tournament, holding a nine-shot edge over second place.

Marc Leishman gets out in front 

With DeChambeau faltering, Leishman took advantage. He birdied four times on the first 10 holes, putting him at 6-under. He remained at 6-under following the 12th hole, holding a two-stroke lead at the time.

A rough first 10 holes for Bryson DeChambeau

After holding a two-stroke lead entering the final round, DeChambeau quickly plummeted down the leaderboard. He double-bogeyed the fourth hole, bogeyed the ninth hole and double-bogeyed the 10th hole, putting him 1-under. He sat in a tie for sixth and was five strikes off the lead when he finished the 10th hole. 

Jon Rahm surging

Rahm recorded three birdies in the first six holes of Sunday's round, putting him in a three-way tie for first at 4-under after he completed his eighth hole.

Phil Mickelson lingering

Mickelson opened the final round on a good note, getting a birdie on the first hole. The birdie made him one of three golfers tied for third and only a stroke off the lead through his first five holes.

DeChambeau slid on the first hole, bogeying the par-4. However, two holes later, he was able to sink the putt for birdie on the third hole to regain the solo lead.

Top moments from Day 2

Bryson DeChambeau leads after Day 2

DeChambeau was 5-under par for the tournament and boasted a two-shot lead on first place at the end of the day.

Up and in

Cameron Smith got his ball out of the bunker and into the hole for a par.

"The rule says play it as it lies."

The ball wasn't on Mr. Larson's foot, but it wasn't a much better lie for Phil Mickelson, who found his ball on the cart path. Then, Mickelson proceeded to hit a tremendous shot from the cart path to the green.

Eagle alert!

There wasn't a bird on the premises, rather it was Bubba Watson chipping in an eagle shot thanks to a wild roll. And, later in the day, Thomas Pieters also made an eagle shot from distance.

Top moments from Day 1

Patrick Reed out front to start

Reed finished Day 1 5-under par with a two-stroke lead.

In and out!

Peter Uihelin, who finished the day tied for eighth place at 1-under par, almost chipped in his ball well away from the green on the 12th hole, but his shot fired off the flag pole. Of course, Uihelin was still set up for an easy putt.

From 670!

Getting on the green in two shots on a 670-yard par 5 is a challenge unless, of course, you're Bryson DeChambeau.

Patrick Reed cruising

Reed was 4-under par through the front nine, good for the early lead.

Phil's feeling it

Phil Mickelson got off to a strong start, posting birdies on each of Holes 6, 7 and 8.

Future so bright, gotta wear shades!

New LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil shared his plans for the growth of the league, including hinting at potential expansion and new venues.
