Despite missing the LIV Golf Championship title by a small margin, Joaquin Niemann received praise from veteran Ian Poulter. The Englishman congratulated Niemann for having an impressive season.
On Sunday, September 15, Niemann fired a 4-under 66 in the final round of LIV Golf Chicago to finish joint runner-up. However, this wasn’t enough for him to win the Championship, as Rahm clinched the title following his win at Bolingbrook.
On Monday, September 16, Ian Poulter shared a story on Instagram to congratulate both Niemann and Rahm.
“How Sunday ended. Well played great season Joaquin Niemann impressive golf. Jon Rahm congrats on a season win,” he wrote.
