Who is leading the LIV Golf Korea 2025 after round 1? Leaderboard explored

Talor Gooch fired a 7-under 65 in the opening round of LIV Golf Korea 2025 to take the early lead. Bryson DeChambeau continued his good form and joined Gooch at the top.

On Friday, March 2, Gooch began his round from the 16th hole at Jack Nicklaus Golf Club in Incheon and picked up four birdies in his first seven holes. He then bogeyed the next hole, but it was his lone error of the day as he added four more birdies. On the other hand, DeChambeau played a bogey-free round to start another week on a high. For the uninitiated, the two-time major champion had finished as joint runner-up last week.

Louis Oosthuizen and Richard Bland were tied for second after shooting 6-under 66. Joaquin Niemann, Jinichiro Kozuma, Dean Burmester, Anirban Lahiri, and Adrian Meronk sit three strokes back after the first round of the LIV Golf Korea 2025.

Notably, the opening round of LIV Golf Korea witnessed two aces. The first ace was made by Dean Burmester on the thirteenth hole, followed by Marc Leishman on the fifth.
