American Talor Gooch has streaked to a 10-shot lead and complete command of the inaugural LIV Golf tournament in Australia.

Gooch carded another 10-under-par 62 in Saturday's second round at Adelaide's Grange Golf Club to reach 20 under.

The 31-year-old is 10 strokes clear of six players - Americans Pat Perez, Brooks Koepka and Cameron Tringale, South Africans Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwarzel and Mexico's Abraham Ancer.

Australia's Cam Smith and American Phil Mickelson are among a group of five golfers tied eighth at nine under with Dustin Johnson a further shot back.

Smith carded a six-under 66 on Saturday but compatriots Marc Leishman (four under), Matt Jones (two over) and Jed Morgan (three over) battled to make inroads.

For Gooch, tournament and the $5.97 million winner's cheque are his to lose.

After firing 62 in the opening round, he again tamed the sandbelt course, producing an eagle and eight birdies.

"Everything is just going my way," Gooch said.

"I'm hitting the ball where I want it to go, a couple of times when I missed a shot I ended up in a decent spot."
