Samooja carded a one-over 71 in the final round at LIV Golf Chicago to finish the tournament two-under par, tied for 15th.
ANALYSISSamooja's best round came Saturday, when he shot a four-under 66 and entered the final round four strokes back of the lead. He started poorly on Championship Sunday with a double bogey on the second hole, but he was three-under par over the next 14 holes. Samooja looked to be on his way to accruing enough points to overtake
Pat Perez in the LIV Golf individual season standings, but the former faltered down the stretch with two bogeys over the final three holes. Samooja ends the season 49th in the individual standings, which is one spot shy of the Open Zone. He earned a spot in the 2024 LIV Golf league through the Promotions event, and he'll have to do the same if he wishes to play in 2025. He'll represent Cleeks GC at the Team Championship in Dallas next weekend alongside
Richard Bland,
Adrian Meronk and captain
Martin Kaymer.
