Joaquin Niemann suffers again . The Chilean had another day marked by errors at the Open. With one day of competition remaining, he is ranked t40, with +5 on his report card.
Talagantino responded to an unprecedented situation that occurred on Friday. He made another quintuple bogey something that ended up being transcendental during his fateful period in the oldest major in the world.once, it was on the 11th hole, yesterday, the 8th. If committing one is unusual, two in a row is something rare.
Niemann started Saturday well. After his grand finale, where he managed to recover and settle in as eleventh on the general list, the Chilean returned with everything. He even managed to place in the top 10 of the competition.
Everything seemed to be going well. However, He suffered a quintuple bogey on the eighth hole. The mistake stopped the momentum he had and hit him emotionally. He was morally damaged and, unlike Friday, could not overcome the shock.
Complex day
Until the crucial moment, he was coming out of a bogey and three birdies. The balance sheet is positive and he reduces the gap with the leaders. However, after suffering another bogey, came the quintuple bogey. This ended up condemning his aspirations. He could not expect his vote again and suffered again at the 15th.
What Niemann experienced reflects the difficulties that the final major of the year faces. Low cards are rare. In fact, With one day to go, only eight golfers (out of the 80 who made the cut) were left with a negative balance, while three remained at par.
The current leader is American Billy Horschel, who will enter the final day with a score of -4. He is only one shot behind his pursuers: South African Thriston Lawrence, Americans Sam Burns, Russell Henley, Xander Schauffele and Englishmen Justin Rose and Daniel Brown, all with -3 on their scoresheet.
