Title: LIV Golf Pro Takes Brutal Hit—You Won’t Believe His Gut Wrenching Reaction!
Enerban Lihiri’s hopes of a spectacular finish at the LIV Golf event in South Korea came crashing down in a shocking turn of events that left fans gasping. The 37-year-old Indian golfer, who had gained momentum with three consecutive birdies, faced a devastating blow on the par-4 ninth hole that would derail his promising round.
What began as a perfect T-shot—a moment that seemed destined for greatness—quickly spiraled into disaster. As Lihiri approached the green with anticipation of a possible eagle, his ball struck the base of the flagstick and ricocheted violently to the right, rolling down a slope and into the water hazard. The stunned silence from the crowd spoke volumes as Lihiri crouched in disbelief, hands on his knees, watching his golden opportunity vanish before his eyes.
The shock proved too much to recover from; he recorded a double bogey on the hole, and the psychological toll was evident. Lihiri stumbled further on the 10th, succumbing to a triple bogey, and added another double bogey just two holes later. In a nightmarish stretch, he dropped a staggering seven strokes in just four holes. Starting the round at four under par and in contention, he finished the day with a disappointing 79, now sitting at three over for the tournament, tied for 43rd and a daunting 16 shots behind leader Bryson DeChambeau.
This is not the first heartbreak for Lihiri on the LIV circuit. He faced a similar fate at his debut in Boston in 2022, losing a playoff to Dustin Johnson after tying for first. In 2023, a missed two-foot putt on the final hole cost him victory at LIV Golf Anducia, losing again in a playoff to Sergio Garcia. As the dust settles on this latest disaster, the golfing world watches closely—will Lihiri rise from the ashes once more, or is this the beginning of a troubling trend?
