Johnson, Ortiz share LIV Golf lead in Portland

LOS ANGELES: Dustin Johnson and Carlos Ortiz shared the second-round lead in the LIV Golf Series stop in Portland on Friday (Saturday in Manila) as players jumping to the breakaway circuit continued to face criticism.

Johnson, the former world No. 1 whose two major titles include the 2020 Masters, briefly threatened to make it a runaway before three late bogeys saw him settle for a four-under par 68 and an eight-under total at Pumpkin Ridge.
