Sebastián Muñoz carded the third sub-60 round in LIV Golf’s brief history Friday, a remarkable run that included a double-bogey.

Munoz drained a short birdie putt for a 12-under 59 at the LIV event at The Club at Chatham Hills outside of Indianapolis. He’s three shots ahead of Dustin Johnson after the opening round.

Munoz stumbled at the par-4 fifth, taking two penalty shots en route to the double-bogey 6. But he responded with birdies on 13 of his final 14 holes, closing with the short putt on the par-4 first (he started on hole No. 2 in the shotgun format) to join Joaquín Niemann and Bryson DeChambeau as the only LIV players to shoot under 60 since the breakaway circuit began in 2022.

Niemann had a 59 at Mayakoba in 2024. DeChambeau fired a 58 at Greenbrier in 2023. Both also came in at 12 under.

Munoz is seventh in the LIV player standings this season.
