An Byeong-hun finished tied for fifth at LIV Golf New York, the best result among the Korean players in the tournament.

An shot 2 under in the final round to finish tied for fifth, nine strokes behind champion Joaquin Niemann.

An, who joined LIV Golf this year, recorded the first top-10 finish by a Korean player on the circuit when he tied for ninth at the Saudi Arabia event in February. Six months later, he improved on that career-best LIV Golf result.

Song Young-han finished tied for ninth, becoming the second Korean player to record a top-10 finish on LIV Golf after An.
