A hard-fought victory was won by Joaquín Niemann during his second appearance at World Match Play, which takes place in Austin, Texas. The national golfer beat the American Russell Henley, with two holes in advance.
For Joaco, it was fundamental to win to keep his options in the contest, because on day one he fell resoundingly against local Maverick McNealy who beat him by eight flags, in a duel that was resolved in just the twelfth season.
Today, the talagantino had an overwhelming start, since for the eighth hole he had taken four ahead of his rival (1, 2, 6 and 8). However, he let the American grow. And that’s how this difference at one point was reduced to one flag, because his opponent won 9, 11 and 12. However, The Chilean reacts and keeps hole 14. From then on, they equalize and it is no longer necessary to play 18, because the difference becomes insurmountable.
This Friday, Niemann will face South Korean Kevin Na, that he will have to beat by a good margin if he wants to fight for the only place available for the round of 16.
