Chile’s Joaquin Niemann won the Adelaide Championship at Liv Golf as Australian star Cam Smith continued for a year.
Australia’s Cam Smith felt bland when Chile’s Joaquin Niemann won the Adelaide Championship to thrive in a stunning final.
Niemann beats the Under-65 7 innings on Sunday at Grange, Mexican duo Abraham Ancer and Carlos Ortiz Two shots were fired.
Niemann (13) was the only golfer to not record the last round of bogey and collected $4 million in championship checks.
The Australians’ total number is in units, trailing the winning team’s 21 shots, Fireballs GC played by Spanish Grand Sergio Garcia.
Smith shared 25th place and finished 30th in the season opener of Liv in Saudi Arabia a week ago.
In the Adelaide Championship, he felt exhausted from the late championship transfer in the next few years.
“We’ve been very new in the last few years, these boys (his teammates) have been on vacation for a few weeks, and there’s a week off between the two, and I’ve left the Masters,” Smith said.
“So I have time to get here and settle in and get ready for a week.
“While this week was just thrown in front of us very quickly and from Riyadh, being sprayed lag and stuff, it certainly took a lot of time.
“But it has also taken a lot of time over the past few years, just not that fresh and then the extra work.
“Everyone is dragging it a little bit, but that’s the truth.”
Niemann had no such concern, and he fired seven birdies in the flawless round.
“I know I need to do something special,” Neiman said, who also won the 2023 Australian Open.
“This is just my way.”
Ancer led the way for most of the final round, but the two bogeys ended.
“Obviously the end of the last two holes was a bogey hard, but I think it’s just fuel for the rest of the season,” he said.
Spain’s David Puig (under nine) leads Richard Bland (under eight) and former world number one Jon Rahm (seven) Under the age of age).
Niemann’s crowds of more than 100,000 wins in three days were because Adelaide won host rights to the Liv Golf Tournament until 2031.
The event will remain on the farm until 2028 before moving to a city course redeveloped by Greg Norman.
Norman will oversee the redesign of the current North Adelaide golf course on the edge of Adelaide’s Central Business District.
Adelaide’s contract with the host expires next year, which will be SA Capital’s fourth LIV tournament.
However, SA Prime Minister Peter Malinauskas has gained an expansion.
Norman spent two days in the week assessing the route to the North Adelaide land, which lined up on the River Torrens , and features three public courses – Champion Long 72 Champion, a shorter PAR-68 and a public scene.
“As a golf course designer, you rarely have the opportunity to participate in a project downtown,” Norman said.
“North Adelaide Golf Club is basically rough diamonds and we’re going to stand out.”
