Niemann Conquers LIV Golf UK: 5th Title of the Year, Rahm Triumphs in Teams

Joaquin Niemann Crowned at LIV Golf UK

The golfer Joaquín Niemann continues his winning streak by achieving his fifth victory of the season, after an outstanding performance at the LIV Golf United Kingdom. Niemann demonstrated his skill on the course, securing first place with a three-stroke lead. Niemann, captain of the Torque GC team, completed the tournament with a score of 68 strokes (-3) on Sunday, finishing with a total of 17 under par (196) at the JCB Golf and Country Club in Rocester, England. His performance included five birdies and two bogeys, adding to his previous victories in Adelaide, Singapore, Mexico City, and Virginia. This victory awarded Niemann a prize of $4 million. It is worth noting that the golfer made a significant decision at the beginning of the week, firing his caddie and coach after failing to make the cut at the 2025 Open Championship. Despite Niemann’s individual success, his team, Torque GC, failed to maintain their three-stroke lead over Legion XIII in the fight for the team title. Legion XIII shot an impressive round of 14 under par on Sunday, finishing at 35 under par for the tournament, beating Torque GC by eight strokes.

Well, I’m going to talk about the first two days because today I didn’t feel like I had my best game. Yes, it was great. I was able to flow in difficult situations.

Niemann commented on his performance, highlighting his calm and control, especially until Bubba Watson began to intensify his game. Watson, for his part, achieved four birdies and two eagles between holes 9 and 14, finishing in second place with 14 under par. The key moment for Niemann was a shot that left the ball five feet from the 15th hole, allowing him to secure a crucial birdie. Yes, I was very happy to see the ball go in so close, and making that birdie I think was huge for the next three holes. Caleb Surratt, with a round of 65 on Sunday, achieved six birdies and finished with 13 under par, followed by Talor Gooch with 66 strokes and 11 under par. Regarding the team game, Legion XIII’s captain, Jon Rahm, celebrated his team’s fourth victory of the season.
