- Wolff mixed eight birdies with a lone bogey at The Grange Golf Club to hold a slender advantage over a chasing pack that includes Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed and Sam Horsfield.
- Six-time major champion Phil Mickelson carded a one-under 71 to sit five shots adrift of the leader.

Experienced Steele Eyeing Adelaide Victory
****Cameron Steele made a strong start in windy conditions on Thursday to be a shot clear of the rest after day one of the LIV Golf Adelaide event. The 38-year-old South African hit four birdies and a solitary bogey in his first round to sit on 5-under for the tournament, while American Talor Gooch and Zimbabwe’s Scott Vincent are tied for second on 4-under.
“Hit and giggle” as it is known, is not quite the way Adelaide was playing yesterday as the pair of Vincent and Gooch, took advantage of the softer conditions in the morning to card 66s, but it was Steele who ended the day with the bragging rights.
Steele, who is winless in four events this season on the rebel tour, has not triumphed since the Ras al-Khaimah Championship in 2021 while he was still a member of the DP World Tour. However, after tying 27th in Saudi Arabia last week, he found an extra gear on Thursday and is well in contention as he chases a first LIV Golf victory.
Steele’s Dominant Performance, a Return to Form
Steele’s quest for a maiden LIV Golf title suffered a setback in Saturday’s second round in Adelaide after a shaky start marred his otherwise impressive two-under 70.The 32-year-old, who led after the opening round, endured a rollercoaster front nine, dropping shots on the second and third holes before an eagle on the par-five seventh pulled him back to one under for the day.
But he then bogeyed the ninth to make the turn one over, before steadying the ship with eight pars and a birdie on the 15th.
