Steele wins at Adelaide
Idyllwild native Brendan Steele put together under-par rounds of
66-64-68 to post an 18-under par 198 and win the LIV golf tournament at
Adelaide, Australia, by a single stroke.
The 41-year-old pocketed a winner’s check of $4 million, plus another
quarter million he won in the team competition at the same Adelaide
tournament.
It was Brendan’s first professional win since 2017 when he won the
Safeway Open (since renamed the Fortinet Championship) on the PGA Tour
for the second consecutive year. He also won the historic Valero Texas
Open in 2011.
Brendan is the son of longtime Idyllwilders Kent and Jana Steele.
The LIV tour’s next scheduled event is in Singapore this coming weekend.
