LIV Golf Adelaide: Joaquin Niemann wins in Australia to claim third title

Chile’s Joaquin Niemann shot a bogey-free seven-under-par 65 to win the LIV Golf Adelaide title by three shots at the Grange Golf Club in Australia.

Niemann, 26, started the final round three shots off the pace but had four birdies in his opening nine holes as he won his third LIV title on 13 under.

Mexican pair Abraham Ancer and Carlos Ortiz, who had started the final round jointly in the lead with England’s Sam Horsfield, both shot 71 to finish tied second on 10 under.

“I’m starting to feel the chills now,” Niemann said.

“I didn’t want to get out of the game rhythm because you never know what could happen, but now I feel that relief and it feels awesome.”

Ancer, who plays for Fireballs with Sergio Garcia, Luis Masaveu and David Puig, won the team event, six shots ahead of Jon Rahm’s Legion XIII.
