PLAYA DEL CARMEN, Mexico—Talor Gooch made a 4-foot birdie putt on his final hole to tie Peter Uihlein for the lead in a LIV Golf season debut at Mayakoba that looks to be an Oklahoma State alumni reunion.

Uihlein was in the lead for most of Saturday at El Camaleon until a bogey-birdie-bogey finish led to a 5–under 66. Gooch played bogey-free, ending his round with an approach to short range on the par-4 first hole.
