Best Of: Joaquin Niemann's Top Shots of 2024

He's got such tremendous hand-eye coordination. Watch how far his head goes down. Now he has to shorten his arm swing in order to compensate for that but he catches the ball in the middle of the base. Oh where did that go? Yeah. He's now nine under through ten. If he misses this he goes to get off my foot. What a save by Wako Niemann. Wako Niemann has produced a remarkable round of golf. He starts 2024 in sensational style. It's the second sub-60 round in live golf history. 59 for the Chilean and it's a round of golf that he will never forget. Sorry, the other way around. Yeah. High fourth in Dubai. This is a good looking shot. The top three in the game without question and the reigning Masters champion. An event that as of right now, believe it or not, Wako Niemann because of the very very biased world ranking system he's not in. And then he almost jars it there but he's going to be looking at John Rahm in his rearview mirror trying to do something really remarkable this week. Well it was worth waiting for.

His excellent early season form is continuing. Trying to just wipe one left to right. It's looking pretty good. One out here in the desert. Oh that's an up and down. Wako Niemann. He was holding the pose and that's why. A beautiful shot. Hello Niemann. Wako two over on his round early today. That just might change there. Wako has this for eagle at 13. Oh that helps his day. Wako Niemann second at 15. An up and down sort of day for Wako so far. A couple of bogeys, a birdie, an eagle. Another birdie opportunity there to stay in contention. Marco with his second shot at the fourth. Torquay and the fireballs cannot be separated. Wako Niemann for birdie at six for Torquay. Bedminster tied for fifth in Chicago.

Wako has won two events already this year and he's got it to eight under par. Didn't have the masters he wanted although it wasn't bad. His second shot at the one back of the iron heads on 19 under par. It's almost always good when he does that and he does it quite frequently. Hello Niemann. This was before Matt Jones hit his putt. Seeking a third from the top level at eight. Wako for birdie. Yes. Convincingly so as well. Mention those two victories that he's had so far this season but so consistent. He was tied for third in Adelaide last week. What a fabulous shot with the ball above his feet. He played a cut just a beautiful shot. Wako for birdie. Wako walking it in. Hello Niemann. Well it's relatively early in the round but actually technically nearly seven hours into the day. That's true yeah. Oh stone motherless dead. Wako started with a pair of birdies. This is his second shot at one. Elsewhere here in Houston and another really good start for Wako Niemann. This is his second shot into the fifth hole. The captain of Torquay GC. Wako on the tee at 14. Seeking a third victory of the season. Like a beautiful shot. His second shot at 18. Trying to fade it a little bit. It is slightly right. Oh this is good.

And subsequently had a run of five straight birdies in his 65 to climb the pylon. He's our individual live golf league leader. And he knows that John Rahm is going well. Looking to close the gap. That's a wonderful shot by Wako. Wako our season-long leader. He won two of the opening three events. He's been in top spot since event number three in Jeddah. Yeah it does. Probably the last 18 or 20 feet. Difficult to get this one to the hole there. Oh he's played a beauty. Wow look at this. Look at this. From Santiago. Up to the top of the slope and then downhill. Golf courses that we've played this year. That is an insane stat. Wako Niemann heading for another under par round. How important could moments like that be? He is two under par.
