Peter Uihlein part of 3-way tie for lead at LIV Golf Hong Kong

Peter Uihlein and Sergio Garcia each shot a 6-under-par 64 to move into a three-way tie for first place after the second round at LIV Golf Hong Kong on Saturday.

Uihlein finished his uneven round with one eagle, eight birdies and four bogeys to join Garcia of Spain and first-round leader Paul Casey (66 on Saturday) of England at 11-under at Hong Kong Golf Club.

"I've had four runners-up, so getting that first win would be awesome," said Uihlein, a two-time winner on The International Series. "I think that's kind of the goal at the start of every year is to get a win. To get a team win would be nice as well, but an individual win would be fantastic."

Garcia had six birdies and Casey added four during their respective bogey-free rounds on Saturday.

"I just watched the Peter Uihlein show today," Casey said. "It was impressive stuff. I'm very happy that I'm sitting here tied for the lead. ... If Pete had not made a bogey today, he'd be about five shots ahead because of his firepower."

Mito Pereira highlighted his stellar 64 on Saturday with the 10th hole-in-one in LIV Golf history. The Chilean aced the 149-yard second hole as part of his round and joined Torque GC teammate Sebastian Munoz (67) of Colombia and Phil Mickelson (65) in a tie for fourth place at 8-under.

Mickelson kept in the hunt after carding seven birdies and two bogeys on Saturday. He has yet to win an LIV event.

"(On Sunday) I've got to make seven birdies and have no bogeys, and I've got a shot at winning this tournament," Mickelson said. "Minimizing the mistakes allows me to not have to make as many birdies and to play a much easier style of game. I should say less stressful style. That's what I'm looking at doing."

Thanks to Pereira and Munoz, Torque GC ascended to the top of the leaderboard at 25-under, two strokes ahead of Jon Rahm's Legion XIII and Mickelson's HyFlyers GC.

Crushers GC captain Bryson DeChambeau shot a 67 on Saturday to join Rahm (64) of Spain in a seven-golfer tie for seventh place.

DeChambeau hit all 14 fairways during the second round to become the only player in the first five LIV Golf rounds played at Hong Kong Golf Club to hit every fairway in a single round.
