Henrik Stenson continued to go low in his LIV Golf debut, following up Friday's 64 with a 2-under 69 on Saturday to stay on top of the leaderboard.

The major champion's combined tournament total of 9-under has given him a comfortable three-stroke lead over Dustin Johnson at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster.

Stenson is playing in his first LIV Golf event. Making the jump to Greg Norman's Saudi-backed rival league came at the cost of his Ryder Cup captaincy.

18-hole co-leader Patrick Reed struggled to a 2-over 73 on Saturday, dropping into a tie for third with Carlos Ortiz and Talor Gooch at 5-under.

Despite holding a three-stroke lead on the individual leaderboard, the Majesticks GC - Stenson's LIV Golf team - sits second on the team leaderboard, six strokes back of 4 Aces GC.

Three of the four members of the 4 Aces - Johnson, Reed, and Gooch - are in the top five on the leaderboard. The fourth member, Pat Perez, is tied for 35th.

Sunday's round will mark the final of the 54-hole, no-cut event. The winner on the individual leaderboard will receive $4 million, while the top team will receive $3 million.
