Niemann wins in Saudi Arabia for 2nd LIV Golf title of the year
Associated PressKING ABDULLAH ECONOMIC CITY, Saudi Arabia — Joaquin Niemann won his second LIV Golf title in three starts, closing with a 4-under 66 on Sunday at LIV Golf Jeddah for a four-shot victory over Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel. Niemann now has three wins in the last three months, starting with the Australian Open victory in December that allowed him to rejoin the European tour and eventually put him on the path toward getting invited to the Masters. Anthony Kim, who had gone 12 years without competitive golf until signing a deal with LIV Golf this week, had a 74 and finished his week in last place, 33 shots out of the lead. The Masters gave Niemann an invitation based on his Australian Open victory, along with two other top-5 performances in European tour events.
