Gooch Leads DeChambeau in LIV Korea

Five players are tied for third at 5 under: Cameron Smith, Joaquin Niemann, Scott Vincent, Thomas Pieters, and Charles Howell III. Gooch's OKGC team leads the team competition at 14 under, one stroke ahead of Crushers.

DeChambeau, the 18-hole co-leader, shot a 2-under 68 that included 11 pars in his final 12 holes. 'My putting saved me today,' he said. Gooch praised the course as a 'shot-maker's course' and noted that it doesn't need to be 8,000 yards to be challenging. newssport.cv
