Joaquin Niemann Wins at LIV Golf United Kingdom
Chilean golfer Joaquín Niemann secured his fifth victory of the season by winning the LIV Golf United Kingdom with a three-stroke lead. Niemann completed the tournament with a score of 68 strokes, three under par, on Sunday, finishing with a total of 17 under par (196 strokes) at the JCB Golf and Country Club in Rocester, England. His performance included five birdies and two bogeys, adding this triumph to his previous victories in Adelaide, Singapore, Mexico City, and Virginia. This victory secured Niemann a prize of $4 million. A curious fact is that the golfer fired his caddie and coach before this tournament, after failing to make the cut at the 2025 Open Championship. Regarding the team play, Niemann’s Torque GC couldn’t hold onto their three-stroke lead over Legion XIII, who were seeking their first title since 2023. Legion XIII had an impressive round of 14 under par on Sunday, finishing at 35 under par for the tournament, beating Torque GC by eight strokes.Niemann also commented on his performance, highlighting the calm he maintained for most of the day, despite the pressure exerted by Bubba Watson. Watson, for his part, had an impressive run with four birdies and two eagles between holes 9 and 14, finishing in second place with 14 under par. Niemann stopped Watson’s advance thanks to a shot that left the ball a few meters from the hole on the 15th hole.Well, I’m going to talk for the first two days because today I didn’t feel like I gave my best. Yes, it was great. I was able to flow in difficult situations.

Regarding the team game, Legion XIII’s captain, Jon Rahm, expressed his satisfaction with his team’s victory, which earned its fourth title of the season.I was very happy to see that ball so close, and making that birdie I think was huge for the next three holes.

With the four scores counting this year, I think we play to our advantage. It was proven at the beginning and it is being proven now.
