Anthony Kim’s erratic opening round at LIV Golf Jeddah seemed to portend further erratic play. The 38-year-old, who recently returned to the game after a 12-year hiatus, shot a six-over-par 76 for the second consecutive day, placing him last among players going into the final round in Saudi Arabia.
At Royal Greens Golf & Country Club, Kim started his second round on the 15th hole and shot five over for his first four holes, making double bogeys, bogeys, and bogeys. Even though he had a great break when the ball skipped across the lake on his approach, Kim made his bogey at the eighteenth hole. The par-4 he initially birdied would be the only circle on his card. At the par-4 third, he made his second double, and he ended the day with 11 consecutive pars.
Kim did not provide quotes to LIV Golf following his round.

Kim sits in last place at 12 over in the second round, nine shots behind the next closest player, Ian Poulter, and a staggering 25 strokes behind leader Joaquin Niemann when Matt Wolff withdrew due to illness after three holes.
Niemann, a recent invitee to the Masters, leads Charl Schwartzel (66) by two strokes following a bogey-free six-under 64. After shooting 62, Jason Kokrak is back with another stroke.
