After lengthy weather delay, he resumes his chase for 4th LIV title with a 64 to lead by 3
History beckons for Brooks Koepka at the Sentosa Golf Club, as the 34-year-old closes in on his fourth title on the LIV Golf league.
The 34-year-old American is among three others - Dustin Johnson, Cameron Smith and Talor with three wins in the Gooch breakaway series.
The five-time Major champion posted a blemish-free seven-under 64 on the second day of LIV Golf Singapore.
His 12-under 130 saw him leapfrogging first-round leader Sebastian Munoz (70) and finishing three shots ahead of the secondplaced quartet of Thomas Pieters (67), Adrian Meronk (66), Abraham Ancer (67) and Matthew Wolff (65).
The torrential rain that greeted the golfers on the morning of May 4 and caused flight delays at Changi Airport did little to distract Koepka from his plan for domination.
