The first 36 holes of LIV Golf’s season-opener LIV Golf Mayakoba are in the books and Joaquin Niemann leads at 11 under (in large part to his opening 59 Friday).
Niemann made four birdies and three bogeys around El Camaleon Mayakoba Golf Course Saturday and was originally leading Dean Burmester and Jon Rahm, who is making his LIV debut this week, by four shots but he was assessed with a two-shot penalty after his round so he will start the final round at 11 under, two in front.
Sergio Garcia is alone in fourth at 7 under, six back, while Charles Howell III, Brooks Koepka and Patrick Reed are tied for fifth at 5 under.
On the team side, Torque GC leads the way at 15 under, with Legion XIII five back at 10 under.
The total purse is $20 million with the individual winner taking home $4 million and the winning team splitting $3 million.
