Niemann wins in Saudi Arabia for 2nd LIV Golf title of the year
Joaquin Niemann is a winner again on the Saudi-backed LIV Golf circuit
KING ABDULLAH ECONOMIC CITY, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Joaquin Niemann won his second LIV Golf title in three starts, closing with a 4-under 66 on Sunday at LIV Golf Jeddah for a four-shot victory over Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel.
Niemann now has three wins in the last three months, starting with the Australian Open victory in December that allowed him to rejoin the European tour and eventually put him on the path toward getting invited to the Masters.
Niemann started his third season on the Saudi-funded league by opening with a 59 at Mayakoba and winning in a playoff over Sergio Garcia. Now he soars to the top of the points list with another win ahead of next week's LIV event in Hong Kong.
“We've got another week to come,” Niemann said. “I told myself I can win these three weeks I'm playing. So next week and see what happens.”
