A brief review of Joaquin Niemann’s performance at the 2024 LIV Golf Jeddah
Joaquin Niemann showed his current excellent form at the Royal Greens Golf & Country Club in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The Chilean played his 54 holes with 19 birdies and only two bogeys for an average of 6.33 birdies per round.
Niemann started the LIV Golf Jeddah with a first round of 7 under, with eight birdies and one bogey. That left him in a share of T3, one stroke behind the leaders Adrian Meronk and Jon Rahm.
However, Niemann proved to be the more consistent player of the LIV Golf Jeddah and fired a bogey-free second round to finish on 6 under and climb to the top of the leaderboard, two shots clear of second place. The Chilean continued to play at full throttle and shot a 4-under-par third round (five birdies, one bogey) to extend his lead to four strokes and take the title.
Niemann has won two of the three LIV events this season. He also won one of the three events he played on the DP World Tour (Australian Open) at the start of the European season. In total, the Chilean has made seven starts this season, with three wins and three top 10s.
Niemann will play in the Masters Tournament in six weeks thanks to a special invitation from Augusta National Golf Club.
