INTERNATIONAL SERIES – MACAU 2025
Mar 20th – 23th, 2025
Graeme had a poor opening day on the greens at Macau G&CC, taking 34 putts as he opened with a two-over 72 to share 111th.
The 2010 US Open champion (45) double-bogeyed the second and three-putted the third to slip to three over.
He birdied the seventh, ninth and 13th to get back to level but had two more three putts as he bogeyed the 14th, 16th and 17th before finishing with a birdie.
On Day 2, McDowell found his rhythm, firing a five-under 65, which included eight birdies, to make a significant leap up the leaderboard heading into the weekend. However, he couldn’t maintain that momentum, posting an even-par 70 on Saturday, followed by a one-under 69 in the final round.
He can still rally in Macau or qualify for The Open via the LIV Golf individual standings or Final qualifying.
“Yeah, obviously it’s a great opportunity next week in Macau to have three Open Championship spot,” McDowell said after LIV Singapore last week, where he finished 53rd in the 54-man field.
“Especially for me with it being Royal Portrush, my hometown, there’s a little bit of extra motivation there.”
