Dustin Johnson is in position for his second LIV Golf title. The two-time major champion shot a 63 with a bogey on his final hole. That gives him a two-shot lead over Branden Grace going into the final round of LIV Golf Tulsa. Grace followed his opening 61 with a 67. Bubba Watson was in third place after a 64. He's four shots behind. Johnson won the LIV Golf points title last year. But this year he has gotten off to a slow start. Johnson has not finished closer than five shots in the previous five LIV events this year.
Talor Gooch upstaged the more-fancied names on the LIV Golf tour by shooting a 10-under 62 to take a four-stroke lead after the first round of the inaugural Australian tournament in Adelaide.
Phil Mickelson is still a popular figure at Augusta National, even if the crowds that followed him during the first round of the Masters were smaller than previous years. Lefty opened with a 1-under 71 on a day when Brooks Koepka fired the biggest salvo for the upstart LIV tour. Koepka is tied for the lead after a 65.
After years of negotiations, a land acquisition deal and millions of dollars, the Masters finally made modifications to what historically has been the easiest hole on the golf course. No. 13, the par-5 leaving Amen Corner, has a new look. The tee box has been moved back 35 yards to make the hole more challenging and now it’s up to the players whether they will go for the glory as they have been or play it safe.
