His eagle on No. 7 was courtesy of a 47-foot putt, and he also holed five more putts of between 10 and 25 feet. He made about 150 feet of putts.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n A two-time LIV individual season champ, Rahm is looking for his first tournament win since 2024. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n “I can’t remember the last time I made this many, but it was a lot — and the ones that didn’t go in looked like they were going to go in,” Rahm said. “It was a fantastic day on the greens.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Campbell, of New Zealand, is seeking his first win in Australia as a pro. He had a contingent of family and friends following him.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n “It’s great,” Campbell said of his support system. “It’s as close to I get playing at home. Everyone has been amazing.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Without the windy conditions of Thursday, the course played easier on Friday. The stroke average of 69.035 bested the opening round by more than two strokes.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Thirteen different players recorded eagles or better on Friday. David Puig of Spain made the third albatross in league history with his 2 on the par-5 10th hole.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n One of those eagles belonged to DeChambeau, who had an up-and-down round that also included five birdies and two bogeys.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n “I was scrambling all day, and that’s something you just can’t do if you’re trying to win a golf tournament,” DeChambeau said.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n In fourth place is Anthony Kim (67 on Friday) at 10-under with Talor Gooch (63) and Branden Grace of South Africa (64) in fifth place at 9-under.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n On the team front, Campbell’s round helped to propel the RangeGoats into a tie for first at 23-under with Dustin Johnson’s 4Aces, aided by Kim’s performance.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
