South African Branden Grace rallied by shooting a 7-under-par 65 on Saturday to win the LIV Golf Invitational Portland in North Plains, Ore.

Grace vaulted past 36-hole leaders Carlos Ortiz (third-round 69) and Dustin Johnson (71) for the win. Patrick Reed shot 67 to finish in third.

Grace finished at 13 under, two shots better than Ortiz.

Grace opened with three birdies against one bogey on the front nine before catching fire on the back nine; he carded five birdies on the final nine to earn the victory.

He started the round two shots behind Ortiz.

Louis Oosthuizen shot 69 to finish in solo fifth.
