MEXICO CITY – Crushers GC Captain Bryson DeChambeau is arguably golf’s biggest hitter. Ripper GC Captain Cameron Smith is arguably the sport’s best putter. On Sunday at LIV Golf Mexico City, they’ll face off for the first time in the final group of a LIV Golf final round.

DeChambeau, thanks to a birdie at the par-3 18th Saturday, grabbed a one-shot lead over Smith. Both shot matching 5-under 66s while playing together during Saturday’s second round, a precursor to what promises to be a dramatic and entertaining finish at Club de Golf Chapultepec.

Niemann is three shots off the lead and tied for the low round of the day Saturday with a 7-under 64. “Hopefully Bryson and I and Joaco can put on a good show,” said Smith. Having spent 18 holes together on Saturday, and with 18 more set for Sunday, DeChambeau (13 under) and Smith (12 under) left no doubt how impressed they are with each other’s biggest strengths inside the ropes.

“It’s scary when he gets on the greens,” DeChambeau said. “Whenever he gets on the greens, I’m like, well, that’s a one-putt. Pretty awesome to watch him putt.” “I wish I could drive the ball like him,” Smith said.

“I often wonder how much better of a golfer I would be if I could drive the ball like him.” Added DeChambeau: “Playing in the final group tomorrow will be a lot of fun. We’re going to go after it.”
