Richard T. Lee maintained his commanding position at LIV Golf Indy after the second round of competition at The Club at Chatham Hills in Westfield on Friday. The Canadian golfer carded a 4-under par round to extend his overall lead to 11-under par, holding a one-stroke advantage over Thomas Detry of 4Aces GC heading into the weekend.
Lee’s impressive start came after an opening round of 7-under par, demonstrating consistency at the course. His lead remained narrow as Detry also posted a strong second round with a 6-under par performance. Meanwhile, 4Aces continued their team dominance, with Thomas Pieters adding a 5-under par round to give the squad an 18-under team score for the day and a commanding five-stroke team lead over Torque GC.
Beyond the scorecards, Lee expressed his gratitude to his wife for selecting his walk-up song and hinted at plans to celebrate a potential victory. The golfer, who made history as the first Canadian-born player to join LIV through the Promotions series, emphasized his focus on the immediate challenges ahead rather than looking too far into the tournament’s conclusion.
Lee credited his recent improvements to dedicated work on his iron play and noted that competing alongside elite players like John Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau has provided valuable learning opportunities. His recent strong finish at LIV New York suggested he was finding the right form at the perfect time in the season.
