NCAA champion Michael La Sasso eyes first pro win at LIV Golf Indianapolis
Michael La Sasso leads LIV Golf Indianapolis at 13-under entering Sunday's final round, one shot ahead of four challengers chasing their first win.
At The Club at Chatham Hills in Westfield, LIV Golf Indianapolis continued to see shifting rankings on the first two days. Rising star Michael La Sasso (HyFlyers Golf Club) continued to impress, boasting a career-best 10-under 60 on Friday that positioned him one stroke ahead at 13-under with one round remaining. On Saturday, La Sasso posted a 4-under 66, maintaining his lead over four golfers tied for second.
By the end of day two, he led the field by one stroke at 13-under. La Sasso, a 2025 NCAA champion from the University of Mississippi, acknowledged the fierce competition among his peers, noting that his friendship with many of them fuels his determination to win his first professional event. Defending team champion Legion XIII, now led by Majesticks GC at 34-under, was joined by HyFlyers GC and Ripper GC, all vying for their first LIV Golf wins.
Laurie Canter (Majesticks GC), who led after Thursday's first round, remained tied for second with Richard Bland and Cameron Smith, each pursuing their first victory of the season. With the final round looming, the leaderboard remains closely contested, with the youngest and oldest players at LIV Golf Indianapolis, Bubba Watson and Sergio Garcia, tied for sixth.
The outcome of the final round will determine the tournament champion, while Jon Rahm, already a three-time winner, stands poised for another triumph.
