Victor Perez Just Shot a 62 in Mexico City and Nobody's Talking About It
While the rest of the sports world was distracted Thursday night, Victor Perez of France went absolutely nuclear at LIV Golf Mexico City. We're talking a career-best 9-under 62 that gave the Frenchman a three-shot lead after the opening round in Naucalpan, Mexico. That's the kind of round that changes momentum in a tournament, and Perez is sitting in the driver's seat right now.
A Career Day in the Desert
Perez's 62 wasn't just a good round, it was the kind of performance that gets replayed and remembered. A career-best score at a major LIV event puts him in complete control heading into the next round. Three shots is a solid cushion in professional golf, but in a format like LIV, things can change fast. Still, when you're shooting that clean and that hot, momentum is everything.
