Promotions Round 2

Richard T. Lee continued his dominant form at Black Diamond Ranch, carding a 5-under-par 66 to share the Round 2 lead and comfortably advance to the final stage.

Lee, who was also the medalist in the opening round, was joined at the top by Sweden's Björn Hellgren, who made an immediate impact in his first competitive round of the week. Both players mastered the reset, keeping their scorecards clean to finish at the head of the 22 players who successfully navigated the cut-line.

The major storyline of the day was the successful return to form for Anthony Kim, who carded a steady 3-under-par 68 to safely advance. Kim was joined in the weekend field by other notable names including Denmark's Lucas Bjerregaard (67) and former LIV regular Kieran Vincent (67).

The cut for the top 20 and ties fell at 2-under-par, resulting in a tense finish that saw Matt Jones and Cory Crawford squeeze through on the number. However, the day marked the end of the road for several hopefuls, including Chase Koepka, who failed to replicate his Thursday magic and missed out on the final 36-hole shootout for the three available LIV Golf wild cards.
