A look at Anthony Kim's second round at LIV Golf Jeddah
Anthony Kim started the second round in 15th position, and bogeyed his first two holes, making double bogeys on the third and another bogey on the fourth. His next three holes were birdie - par - double bogey and Kim was playing for 6 under after the first seven holes.
When it looked like the round was heading for an absolute disaster, Kim pulled himself together and parred the next 11 holes in a row.
Kim's score after 36 holes is 12-over and he is ranked 53rd to close the leaderboard (Matt Wolff withdrew). He is nine strokes behind Ian Poulter, who is 52nd, and 25 strokes behind the leader.
Joaquin Niemann leads the LIV Golf Jeddah after the second round, with a score of 13 under. The Chilean played the second round with six birdies and no bogeys.
Charl Schwartzel remains in contention (second, two strokes behind Niemann). Third are Jason Kokrak and Louis Oosthuizen, with a score of 10 under.
First round leaders Jon Rahm and Adrian Meronk dropped to T5 (9 under), tied with Abraham Ancer and Lucas Herbert.
