India's Anirban Lahiri earned a big paycheque with a second-place finish at LIV Golf Bedminster, firing an aggregate of 5-under at the event. Lahiri, the only Indian playing in the Liv Series, shot rounds of 74-64-70, totalling 5-under and finishing behind Australia's Cameron Smith (66-67-68), who aggregated 12-under.

Smith's team Rippers also won the team title while Lahiri's side, led by Bryson DeChambeau, was second. It was the third runner-up finish for Lahiri on the LIV Golf Tour. He was second at the Boston Invitational in 2022 and again finished runners-up in Adelaide. 

He earned $2.25 million for his second place but it also included $375,000 as his share of the prize money in the team event.

Smith won $4 million for his title triumph. This was the second runner-up finish for Lahiri this season. He has had four more top-20 finishes and is currently 15th in the Player standings. Lahiri, starting from the first tee, dropped a shot on the second. 

He birdied the third, only to drop another shot on the sixth. He picked back-to-back birdies on the 15th and 16th for a 70 that gave him a total of 5-under, which was seven behind the winner.
