Peter Uihlein chases down Brooks Koepka to lead LIV Golf Jeddah by one heading into final round

Seven birdies, an eagle and a double added up to a 7-under 63 for Uihlein.

Brooks Koepka didn’t have a poor Saturday. The 32-year-old shot a second-round 3-under 67 and now has a chance to win on Sunday for his first LIV Golf title.

But Peter Uihlein had himself a day.

The Oklahoma State product chased Koepka down Saturday with a 7-under 63 and holds a one-shot lead at 12 under with 18 holes to play. Uihlein finished fourth in London at LIV Golf’s debut and was the runner-up to Cameron Smith in Chicago.

Charl Schwartzel and Sergio Garcia are tied for third at 9 under, three back. Abraham Ancer and Paul Casey round out the top five at 8 under.
