Chile’s Joaquin Niemann shot a Bogey-free Zeven-under-Par 65 to win the Liv Golf Adelaide title by three shots in the Grange Golf Club in Australia.
Niemann, 26, the final round started three shots outside the pace, but had four Birdies in his opening nine holes when he won his third LIV title on 13 under.
Mexican couple Abraham Ancer and Carlos Ortiz, who had jointly started the final round with Sam Horsfield in England, both shots 71 to finish second at 10.
“I am now starting to feel the cold shivers,” said Niemann.
“I didn’t want to get out of the rhythm of the game because you never know what could happen, but now I feel that relief and it feels great.”
Ancer, who plays for fireballs with Sergio Garcia, Luis Masaveu and David Puig, won the team event, six shots for Jon Rahm’s Legion XIII.
Garcia said: “It’s bittersweet with Abe (Ancer), the way he played, he was there all day and it would have been nice to get double.”
Niemann and Ancer fought through the final round, but Ancer fought first and dropped his first shot of the day on the 14th. He won it back with a bird on the 16th but missed the fairway on the next hole when he registered another bogey that gave Niemann breathing space.
Horsfield, who started the last round level with Ancer and Ortiz at nine, ended together seventh after closing with a three-over 75.
Tom Mckibbin in Noord -Ireland was also seventh place in the group after he was closed with a 69.
