  "account": "WESTFIELD - Drenched in champagne and wide-eyed, 22-year-old Michael La Sasso kept smiling as he became the youngest golfer to ever win a LIV Golf event. After starting his LIV Golf Indianapolis season at 1-over on Thursday, the former NCAA champion turned a difficult 18 holes into a record-tying 10-under the next round and took the lead with a 4-under on Saturday. Facing pressure from veteran golfers including Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, and Sergio Garcia, La Sasso shot a bogey-free 5-under 65 on the final day to win the championship with a 17-under total. Despite Rahm's 16-under total, La Sasso's steadiness proved essential in securing his victory.",
