Talor Gooch holed a 12-foot birdie putt on the final hole to win LIV Golf Andalucia by one shot at Valderrama.

The American is the first three-time winner on the LIV circuit - following victories in Adelaide and Singapore.

His four-under-par 67 saw him finish on 12 under and leapfrog overnight leader Bryson DeChambeau, who shot a 69.

"I felt like I was going to make it," Gooch said of his final putt. "Before I even hit it I was visualising the fist pump. I'm glad it went in!"

In the team event, Torque GC - Joaquin Niemann, Sebastian Munoz, David Puig and Mito Pereira - won by five shots over Gooch's RangeGoats to record their second team victory in a row.

The 48 players head to England for the next event, with the Centurion Golf Club in Hertfordshire hosting LIV Golf London, which starts on Friday, 7 July.
