Talor Gooch, Peter Uihlein tied for lead at LIV Golf Mayakoba after second day

The season-opening LIV Golf League event is up for grabs.

There’s a congregation of Oklahoma State Cowboys at the top of the LIV Golf leaderboard in Mayakoba.

Talor Gooch and Peter Uihlein are tied for the lead after the second round, sitting at 9-under 133. Gooch’s day included five birdies and no blemishes on his scorecard, and Uihlein had seven birdies, but he bogeyed two of his final three holes in the season-opening event for LIV Golf in Mexico.

Uihlein replaced Gooch on the 4Aces this season, with the latter going to play for the RangeGoats, and now they’ll be in the final group come Sunday.

Fellow former Cowboy Charles Howell III is third at 8 under. Meanwhile, Matthew Wolff, who won the NCAA individual national title for Oklahoma State in 2019 and the team title in 2018, is T-6 at 5 under.
