"I'm pretty proud of the way I played all week"- Joaquin Niemann on his performance at the 2024 LIV Golf Jeddah
Niemann has won two tournaments in 2024. He started the third season of LIV Golf with a victory at the Mayakoba event. However, he struggled at the Las Vegas event and finished in a tie for 30th place, with Dustin Johnson winning that tournament. Nonetheless, Niemann bounced back with his fabulous victory at the Jeddah event on Sunday, March 3.
He maintained his dominance throughout, starting with an incredible round of 7-under 63. Niemann fired a bogey-free round in the second round and played the third round of 4-under 66. He finished with a score of under 17, registering a resounding four-stroke victory over Oosthuizen and Schwartzel.
The Chilean golfer was happy with his performance and while talking to the media, said (via ESPN):
"I'm more than happy about the way I'm playing. I just want to keep on the same path. I'm pretty proud of the way I played all week."
Niemann also thanked his caddie Gary Matthews for his constant support throughout the game. He said:
"Gary's role was huge not only today, I mean during every day we play, every day we practice. He does a good role. He's pretty good on talking me through the shots. He knows how to read me pretty well."
