Branden Grace made an eagle-two on Saturday on the eighth hole of the Grange Golf Club on his way to a third round of three-under-par 69 in the LIV Golf event in Adelaide, Australia.

He started his round on the first hole in the shotgun start, and picked up his first shot on the third. He then hit his tee-shot just short of the green on the par-four eighth, where they had brought the tee forward, and knocked in a putt from the fringe.

He picked up another shot on the 10th to move to four-under-par, but he made bogey on the 14th as he moved to 12-under-par for the tournament, seven shots off the lead.

Bryson DeChambeau, the Crushers GC captain, and Jon Rahm, the Legion XIII captain, shared the 54-hole lead at 19-under, five shots ahead of Anthony Kim, the newest 4Aces GC player who is writing his own dramatic storyline in a week that’s offered plenty of them. Two members of the Ripper GC, captain Cameron Smith and Lucas Herbert, are tied with RangeGoats GC’s Peter Uihlein for fourth, six shots back.

While the two Ripper players face long odds to capture the individual title in front of their home fans, the team trophy remains a distinct possibility. The Rippers will start Sunday in second place, five shots behind Rahm’s Legion XIII, and will have the benefit of the huge local support, which they leaned on two years ago to win LIV Golf Adelaide in the league’s first-ever play-off.

Dean Burmester made six birdies and one bogey on his way to a five-under-par 65, for a total of none-under for the tournament.
