The victory of Liv Uk and Joaquin Niemann brought Bold Jon Rahm taken, the same question

Joaquin Niemann Left the field in Liv Golf UK This week, beating Bubba Watson with three blows to win his fifth win at Breakaway League this season. The 26-year-old Chilean has four more victories than Bryson Dechambeau this year and five more than Jon Rahm. His bank account has, of course, swollen while he has accumulated victory against a field of 54 people.

It’s all good and good, and honestly, not surprising. Niemann’s talent has never been under discussion. He is a world -class ball striker, who seemed to be on the eve of Stardom when he left PGA Tour for Liv Golf. Seven victories in Liv and two more victories around the world have followed that decision, and the Niemann star has continued to shine.

How bright is that star has been one of the big golf questions This season.

Rahm spoke to the media after Niemann’s victory at JCB Golf and Country Club and addressed the Niemann country on the Global Golf order. Niemann currently ranks 19th in the data golf ranking, shortly after Sam Burns and in front of us open winner JJ Spaun.

“In my mind, nowadays in Golf, due to different circumstances, I think Joaquin is heavily underestimated,” Rahm said. “He is one of the best players in the world, and he continues to try it. When it comes to his game, he is good at everything, of course he is very confident now and taking advantage of it. It’s never easy to win. To do it many times, let alone five times in a season, it’s quite impressive.

“I’ve seen all those strokes gained in the rankings. I still don’t understand them. He has won five times here. How is he behind so many of us? I don’t know the numbers. I don’t know. My opinion is definitely a diploma, out-of-liv events that can push it again. It’s not a real reflection. He is definitely a Top-10 player in the world.”

For all Niemann’s success in Liv, every festive press conference brings the same questions: When will this Joaquin Niemann be lit at Major?

That close question. How big can Joaquin Niemann be? This is what he only can answer by playing his best in the largest stages. Niemann knows this and believes he is coming. Only is just a matter of time.

“I feel like there is nothing else to try,” Niemann said on Sunday. “Yes, it has irritated me a lot not to play well in diplomas, but I know I will make it happen. I know I will understand. Of course, this is a game that is really frustrating, and I think we all know that. Sometimes we get it personal, as the game is doing something against us.”

This big season, Niemann scored his first ball of his first career in PGA in PGA. He was never in quarrel in Quail Hollow, but his resume needed a yellow Wikipedia. He lost the cut in the US Open and Open championship and completed T29 in Masters. Niemann now has a Top-10 and five Top-25 ends in the 26 main starts in his career. He has lost nine cuts.

Despite another big disappointing season, Niemann believes he is one of the 10 best players in the world. By Golf Golf Golf Golf Won metric (who considers the strength of the field), Niemann ranks third in Liv in total shocks won after Rahm and Bryson Dechambeau in plus-1.57. This number would put Niemann ninth in PGA Tour between Keegan Bradley and Spaun. Seven of the 10 players over Niemann in total blows have won diplomas. The other three are Tommy Fleetwood, Russell Henley and Sepp Straka. Fleetwood has two large competitors, seven pre-pencil ends and eight 10th better. Henely has five Top-10 in 30 starts, but four have come to his last eight. Straka has two 10 best, but has made only three cuts in his last six diplomas.

Niemann is proud of the success he has found in Liv but is aware that he must continue to hit the championship door to cement himself as the player’s caliber that he and Rahm already see.

“I feel like there is always something else to follow,” Niemann said. “I feel like this is the way I am. Yes, I feel like I’m always trying to follow something better and better every time.”
