Munoz sets the pace at LIV Golf in Chicago

Sebastian Munoz has quickly pulled away from a crowd at the top, playing his opening five holes in five under par on his way to a second-round eight-under 63 and a three-shot lead in LIV Golf-Chicago.

Munoz was part of a five-way tie for the lead after the first of three rounds. He started with three straight birdies at Rich Harvest Farms, then he holed out on on the par-4 fifth hole for an eagle.

The Colombian was at 13-under 129, three clear of India's Anirban Lahiri, who had a bogey-free 66.

Abraham Ancer birdied six holes in a seven-hole stretch late in his round for a 66, leaving him tied for third with Dustin Johnson (66) and Thomas Pieters (67). They were five shots behind.

Australian points leader Cameron Smith shot 71 and was 11 shots off the pace.

Brooks Koepka is the only player in LIV's 48-man league who will be playing in the Ryder Cup next week. The PGA champion had a 69 and was eight shots back.
