Joaquín Niemann after his brilliant debut in The Players: “It was a great tour and also very long”

The Chilean finished the day with five under par, in the top ten of the contest taking place in Florida.

Joachim Niemann started again. The talagantino, recently champion of the Genesis Invitational, made his debut in the contest which takes place in Ponte Vedra Beach and shone with his shots. He finished the day with -5, in the top ten.

The day in Florida was marked by bad weather, which interrupted the game for more than four hours. “Luckily we were able to finish today and tomorrow we don’t have to get up early and we can rest a bit more. Tomorrow the forecast isn’t good either, but hopefully we can play a few holes “said the Chilean.

Joaco confessed that he spent the long break with Mito Pereira, and even had time to take a nap: “It was a great run and also really long, I was able to take a nap in the middle so it was pretty good. I’m very happy with the way I played and the way I finished This morning we played nine holes and luckily I was able to go home, we live very close Carlos Ortiz, Sebastián, Mito were there so we spent some time together and I was able to rest for a while . .

Finally, the 23-year-old golfer enjoyed his performance, especially given the course conditions: “The rough is long and on this course the greens can be made very firm, but unfortunately this weather does not allow the course to be as fast and firm, but for all that it has been raining I think it is playing well. I hit the ball very well, gave myself a lot of chances in the last nine holes and was able to finish in the best way, making good putts and hitting great shots. .
