HONG KONG — First-round co-leader Abraham Ancer birdied five of his final eight holes Saturday for an 8-under 62 and a 5-stroke lead after two rounds of the inaugural LIV Golf tournament in Hong Kong.
Ancer had a two-round total of 15-under 125 on the Hong Kong Golf Club course.
Harold Varner III and Eugenio Chacarra, who shot second-round 66s, were tied for second.
