John Catlin

LIV Golf has confirmed its replacement player for suspended Graeme McDowell at LIV Golf Greenbrier this week.

Rory McIlroy was eight shots off the lead on Thursday at the Irish Open but he surged up the leaderboard on day two.

John Catlin was warned for his slow play on the 16th hole and was then given the penalty on the 3rd hole, which was his 12th hole of the day.

John Catlin beat Max Kieffer on the fifth playoff hole at the Austrian Open after Kieffer made a quintuple-bogey on the final hole.

John Catlin became the first American winner at Real Club Valderrama since Tiger Woods in 1999, as he wins his maiden European Tour title.
