Joaquín Niemann stalled again at the close of the US Open. As happened on Saturday, the Chilean golfer again had an irregular round that did not allow him to improve his numbers compared to the previous days to bid farewell to the tournament in a better place.

The talagantino signed a card of the day of +2, which left his accumulated score at +9. In the absence of all the participants at the finish, he is in 50th place, 13 strokes behind those who are currently the leaders, the American Will Zalatoris and the Englishman Matt Fitzpatrick.

The first pass was negative for the national. After struggling in the third round, in which he concluded with a +6 score for the day that all but ended his title shots, Joaco only bet trying to catch up with his result to at least end his participation with a smile, which ultimately did not happen.

The first nine holes were completed with some difficulty. His putting work was once again imprecise, leading to his first bogey of the day on the third hole. After this stumble, he darkened and could not recover. He ended the first half with a momentary +1 card, forcing himself to recover on subsequent holes to avoid losing more places.

Niemann, who was the only Chilean in the competition after Guillermo Pereira missed the cut on Friday, looked a bit better afterwards but got tangled again. Without any chance of fighting for the crown, all he had to do was have fun and try to get a raise to retire more calmly from the competition. At hole 11, he seems more precise and scores with a birdie with which he tries to regain confidence.

But as was the trend in recent days, he couldn’t get off the ground and was again forced to use a shot over par on hole 14. Although he immediately birdied another birdie, the The irregularity once again caused him pain towards the end, when his Frustration showed more and more on his face. Two new bogeys in a row, at flags 16 and 17, and his card which had been even, was now again with a negative balance of +2, which continued after the last hole. The National looked up at the sky, while demanding an explanation at his low level.

Joaco suffered again in the competition and was far from reaching his goal of the day to finish higher in the standings. Now he will have to focus on his job to prevent the mistakes that cost him in this tournament from happening again in the future. Beyond its mediocre presentation, the PGA National still has a long way to go.
