Rahm Shocks DeChambeau with Wild LIV Golf Finale Move
Jon Rahm pulled off a moment that left everyone at The Grange Golf Club doing a double-take. On the 18th hole of the third round at LIV Golf Adelaide, he went left off the tee, landing almost on the 10th tee box. Most players would have been frozen by the confusion, but Rahm seized a little-known rules allowance and turned it into a spectacular eagle. That shot not only tied him with Bryson DeChambeau at 19 under, it set up one of the most electric final rounds in LIV Golf history.
Earlier in the round, Rahm had stumbled with back-to-back bogeys, something he hadn’t done since last August. DeChambeau looked poised to extend his lead, riding an incredible eight-birdie streak over nine holes. But Rahm’s birdie run from 14 to 16 gave him the momentum he needed. Then came the jaw-dropping moment on 18. After consulting with a rules official, Rahm dropped left of the fairway, almost directly behind DeChambeau and executed a three-hop shot that found the hole for eagle. Even DeChambeau seemed stunned, caught on camera mouthing “What?” before shaking his head.

This isn’t just a flashy highlight. It underscores the growing intrigue of LIV Golf, where unique rules and course setups create opportunities for dramatic swings. Rahm’s knowledge of temporary immovable obstruction rules gave him a clear advantage, showing that understanding the rulebook can be just as critical as hitting flawless shots. For the audience, it was a reminder that golf is not just a test of skill, but strategy and mental agility under pressure.
The implications are huge heading into Sunday’s final round. Both Rahm and DeChambeau will tee off together, tied at the top, promising a showdown that fans have been waiting for. Anthony Kim lurks five shots back in solo third, looking to break into his first LIV Golf top-10 finish. A trio of players sit at 13 under, keeping the leaderboard tight and the tension high. On the team side, Legion XIII has surged to a five-stroke lead over Ripper GC, thanks to standout rounds from Tyrrell Hatton, Caleb Surratt and Tom McKibbin.
What makes this finale so compelling is not just the scores, but the drama—the missteps, the brilliance and the moments that seem almost impossible until they happen. Rahm’s eagle on 18 was a perfect example: calculated chaos turned into triumph. Fans and players alike will be watching closely, because in LIV Golf, a single rule, a single shot, can flip the leaderboard in an instant.
Stay tuned, because this battle is far from over. The stage is set, the tension is high and the final round promises to deliver every ounce of excitement golf can offer. Keep following for live updates and analysis as this epic showdown unfolds.
