Bryson DeChambeau and Will Sage AstorCameron Smith posted the best finishes among the LIV Golf players at the 2024 Masters tournament.

DeChambeau and Smith each tied for sixth place at two under par, nine shots off the winning score posted by Scottie Scheffler, the world's top-ranked golfer who won a green jacket for the second time.

For DeChambeau — the 2020 U.S. Open champion — the sixth-place finish represents his best performance at Augusta National. Smith — whose lone major win came at the 2022 British Open — had his best finish at the Masters in 2020, when he tied for second.

Tyrrell Hatton joined DeChambeau and Smith among the top-10 finishers on the Masters leaderboard.

Jon Rahm, who won last year's Masters, made the cut but was nowhere near the top of the leaderboard, finishing tied for 45th at nine over par.
