Joaquin Niemann began Sunday’s final round of LIV Golf Adelaide three strokes off the lead. That left him with a fairly straightforward objective.
“Do something special,” the Torque GC captain said.
Task completed.
Niemann produced the day’s only bogey-free round, shooting a 7-under 65 to eventually reel in Fireballs GC’s Abraham Ancer, who led the majority of the day until suffering three bogeys on his final five holes. Niemann’s 13 under total was good enough for a three-shot victory over Ancer and Torque teammate Carlos Ortiz, who each shot 71.
It’s the second straight LIV Golf season in which Niemann has posted an early victory. A year ago, he won the first and third events of the season and led the season-long points standing until finishing second to Legion XIII Captain Jon Rahm in the Individual Championship.
