Tabuena winds up joint 48thMANILA, Philippines — Miguel Tabuena finished tied for 48th and earned $50,000 (about P2.9 million) in his LIV Golf League debut. After three successive one-under 71s at the season-opening LIV Golf Riyadh, Tabuena fired his best round of three-under 69 to wrap up his first appearance under the Dustin Johnson-led 4Aces GC team on a strong note yesterday (Manila time). At six-under 282 for the $30-milion tournament, the Pinoy Olympian finished 18 strokes off Elvis Smylie of Ripper GC (264 after a final-round 64), who completed a Cinderella triumph at the expense of two-time major champion Jon Rahm of Legion XIII (265 after a 63). Tabuena wound up tied with two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson of the US (68) and Sam Horsfield of England (72) for 48th to 50th in the individual standings.
