Three seasons after first battling for a LIV Golf individual title, Dustin Johnson and Joaquin Niemann enter Sunday’s final round of LIV Golf Singapore ready for another duel.
Niemann, the Torque GC captain, shot the best score in Saturday’s second round at Sentosa Golf Club, a 7-under 64 to grab a share of the lead with Johnson, the 4Aces GC captain who followed his opening 63 with a 3-under 68. The two are at 11 under, three shots better than their closest pursuers.
Johnson’s team owns a five-stroke lead over Phil Mickelson’s HyFlyers GC in the team competition as the 4Aces hope to end a drought of 22 consecutive tournaments without a win. Sergio Garcia’s Fireballs GC are in third place, eight strokes off the lead, as they seek a third consecutive tournament victory.
