Sam Horsfield Takes Lead at LIV Golf Adelaide After Reed's Hole-in-One

Posted : 14 February 2025

Patrick Reed captivated the LIV Golf Adelaide crowd on Friday with a remarkable hole-in-one at the par-three 12th at Grange Golf Club, sparking a wild celebration from fans who were energized by music and alcohol. The crowd showered Reed and his group with plastic cups as he embraced the moment, although it was Britain's Sam Horsfield who stole the show with a stellar performance, carding a six-under-par 66 to take a one-shot lead after the first round.

 

Horsfield’s final birdie of the day on the 18th gave him a narrow advantage over Mexico's Carlos Ortiz and Chile's Joaquin Niemann. The three-time European Tour winner, who is aiming for his first LIV title, reflected on his recent form, saying his game has been trending well and he hoped to maintain that momentum over the weekend. Ortiz, despite firing nine birdies, struggled with four bogeys, including three late in the round, allowing Horsfield to take the lead.

 

Reed, despite the hole-in-one, struggled throughout the day, finishing with a three-over-par 73. Meanwhile, the LIV format, which has groups teeing off simultaneously in a shotgun start, saw Ortiz initially take control after making five birdies on the front nine. However, his inconsistencies in the latter part of the round left him one shot behind the leaders heading into the weekend.

 

The 2025 LIV Tour campaign began the previous week in Riyadh, where Adrian Meronk claimed the individual title, while Jon Rahm's team, Legion XIII, triumphed in the team competition. With the competition heating up, players like Horsfield and Ortiz are well-positioned to battle for the top honors as the weekend progresses.
