RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – The second round of ROSHN Group LIV Golf Riyadh<\/a> brought another day of good scoring for the LIV Golf field, resulting in an incredibly bunched leaderboard. Smash GC<\/a> Captain Talor Gooch<\/a>, 4Aces GC<\/a>‘s Thomas Detry<\/a>, and RangeGoats GC<\/a>‘s Peter Uihlein<\/a> are all tied atop the leaderboard at 10-under par.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gooch posted back-to-back 5-under 67s on Wednesday and Thursday and attributed his success to his \u201cRule of 67.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI keep saying this; the rule is 67,” Gooch said. “I probably should have coined that differently a while back. But you go play good golf, and everything takes care of itself. All the things that I’ve been blessed with have obviously come from the man above, but it doesn’t happen without shooting 67, 66. At the end of the day, birdies take care of all that stuff. As long as I can continue to focus on that and make that the priority, I know all the other business stuff will take care of itself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Detry and Uihlein, however, took bumpier paths to their 10-under scores through two rounds. After shooting 7-under 65s to share the lead after Thursday, both players had up-and-down performances in Round 2. They made five birdies and two bogeys each to shoot 3-under 69s. Uihlein had the added benefit of seeing just about every inch of Riyadh Golf Club, including the inside of a bush or two, but his elite putting kept him in the round.<\/p>\n

The trio at the top of the leaderboard will need to keep their foot on the gas, as a quartet of dangerous chasers are lurking at 9-under par, just one shot back. Smash GC<\/a>‘s Jason Kokrak<\/a> shot the round of the day with an 8-under 64. Legion XIII<\/a> Captain Jon Rahm<\/a> and Torque GC<\/a>‘s Sebastian Munoz<\/a> shot 4-under 68s, and the Ripper GC<\/a> rookie Elvis Smylie<\/a> shot a 3-under 69.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – The second round of ROSHN Group LIV Golf Riyadh brought another day of good…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":460832,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[566],"tags":[64,63,755,85],"class_list":["post-460831","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/460831","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=460831"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/460831\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/460832"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=460831"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=460831"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=460831"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
