BLAND FINISHES NINTH IN CHICAGO INDIVIDUAL LEADERBOARD
SUGAR GROVE, Ill. – Richard Bland continued his impressive late-season run, shooting a 4-under 67 in Sunday’s final round at LIV Golf Chicago to finish ninth on the individual leaderboard.
Bland’s three-round total of 9 under tied Dustin Johnson on the traditional leaderboard, but Bland won the tiebreaker due to a better final-round score, as Johnson shot a final-round 70.
Bland has finished inside the top 11 in points in four consecutive LIV Golf tournaments. He is now 20th in the season-long points standings and will look to lock up a top-24 spot and guaranteed spot in the 2024 LIV Golf League season next month in the regular-season finale in Jeddah.
As a team, the Cleeks finished just outside the points, in ninth place at 14 under. The team shot a counting score of 4 under on Sunday, with Bernd Wiesberger (70) and Graeme McDowell (72) contributing counting scores. Captain Martin Kaymer shot a 73.
The. Cleeks remain in 12th place in the season-long standings heading into Jeddah.
