Niemann achieves an exceptional finish at LIV Golf in Bangkok and climbs into the top 20 of the ranking

Joaquín Niemann had a superb final at Liv Golf in Bangkok. The national athlete closed this Sunday with a card of -7 strokes which allowed him to climb to 20th place in the general classification with a total of -8 sticks .

It was the talagantino’s best performance of the weekend. On the first day, he was only able to register a pair, while on Saturday, he could only deduct a single hit that put him in the T43 spot.

This big jump in positions was caused by the eight birdies (flags 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16 and 17), scoring a single bogey at flag ten .

Joaco thus closed his third participation in the Saudi capitals tournament, where he had previously reached second place and a top 5 to which this top 20 is now added.

Niemann was eleven strokes behind the eventual winner, 22-year-old Spaniard Eugenio López-Chacarra, who scored -19 and had a three-stroke advantage over his closest pursuers.

The Hispanic athlete claimed the title at LIV Golf in his fifth tournament appearance as a professional, securing a prize pool of US$4 million and an additional $750,000 for the team-level triumph.

“My mother took me to the countryside since I was little and tried to help me achieve my dreams. It was one of the things I wanted to do, win with my mother “, he commented on the official channels of the tournament.

Regarding the formula to obtain this success, the Spaniard indicated that “it feels good. I mean, I don’t think there’s really any secrecy. Trust yourself and work hard every day . That’s what I was taught when I was young and what these guys tell me to do, and trust your team, have a good team, and just work and work, I would say.”
