As a team, the Southern Guards are in solo second, two shots behind Torque GC. Individually, Branden Grace is tied for second, two shots behind Crushers GC Captain Bryson DeChambeau, the 36-hole leader seeking his second consecutive LIV Golf individual title. Grace’s teammate Dean Burmester is tied for fourth, another shot back.
“This is exactly where I want to be going into the weekend,” Grace said. “Coming in, I know tomorrow is going to be even more electrifying than today — and we’re ready.”
DeChambeau began the day in a tie for the lead with teammate Charles Howell III but quickly took control with a spectacular eagle at the par-4 first. He was 5-under through his first five holes, looking as if he may run away with the tournament.
