Richard T. Lee maintained his position at the top of the leaderboard following the second round of LIV Golf Indy at Chatham Hills in Westfield. The Canadian golfer carded a 4-under par 66 on Friday, building on his impressive 7-under opening round to reach an 11-under total for the tournament. His one-stroke advantage over Thomas Detry of 4Aces GC positioned him favorably heading into the final two rounds of competition.
Lee’s momentum comes after a period of inconsistency on the LIV tour. The former Black Diamond Ranch champion, who finished runner-up in Singapore earlier this year, had struggled through several events before rebounding with a tied-for-11th finish at LIV New York. He credited improvements to his iron play and the opportunity to learn from prominent tour figures like John Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau as key components to his recent resurgence.
Despite his commanding lead, Lee expressed cautious optimism about his prospects. He acknowledged his dream of achieving a significant victory while competing against elite talent and hinted at having a special reward planned for his wife should he ultimately claim the tournament. Meanwhile, the 4Aces team held a commanding five-stroke advantage over Torque GC, with Detry and teammate Thomas Pieters combining for strong performances in the second round.
