Niman 'Already at 2 Wins'... Anthony Kim 'At the Bottom'

Joaquin Niemann

On the 3rd, at the final 3rd round of the LIV Golf Jeddah held at the Royal Green Golf & Country Club in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia (Par 70, 7,048 yards), he scored 4 under par to complete a 4-stroke victory (17 under par 193). This is his second win of the season following his victory at the season opener in Mayakoba last month, with a prize money of 4 million dollars (about 5.3 billion KRW).

Niemann started with a 2-stroke lead and made 5 birdies (1 bogey). He smoothly proceeded with birdies on holes 1, 4, and 10, but made his first bogey on the 13th hole (par 4). After maintaining par for the next 3 holes and keeping a 2-stroke lead, he sealed the victory with consecutive birdies on holes 17 and 18.

Niemann is a player who has won twice on the PGA Tour. He was once ranked 15th in the world, the best among players under 25. After moving to LIV Golf, he tasted his first victory joy by shooting 59 on the first day at Mayakoba this year. Niemann recently received a special invitation to the Masters from Augusta National Golf Club. He earned the opportunity to compete in next month's Masters. Including his amateur days, Niemann has appeared in the Masters four times. Except for his amateur appearance, he made it to the main field every time. His best result was a tie for 16th place last year.

Loui Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel (both South Africa) tied for 2nd place (13 under par 197). ‘The Hulk’ Bryson DeChambeau (USA) finished 4th (12 under par 198), and world No. 3 Jon Rahm (Spain) was 5th (11 under par 199). Anthony Kim (USA), returning to the field after 12 years, lost 4 strokes and finished last in 53rd place (16 over par 226). A total of 55 players participated in this tournament, and Matthew Wolff (USA) and Wade Ormsby (Australia) withdrew.
