With dance music blaring, live visual effects erupting and Mexico City fans standing almost on top of the tee box at the par-3 18th at Club Golf Chapultepec, Joaquin Niemann’s path to earning a start at the US Open was unique.

Finally, Joaquin Niemann was able to enjoy a tournament victory in Australia without the weight of trying to bag major championship starts from a trip Down Under.

After lifting the trophies in front of record crowds in 2023, Chile’s Joaquin Niemann and South Africa’s Ashleigh Buhai have today confirmed they will defend their titles at the 2024 ISPS HANDA Australian Open in Melbourne.
Ancer held on when he hit an approach to four feet on the first playoff hole to capture his first LIV Golf victory, making him the 14th different player to win in the league’s three-year existence.
Between this and Talor Gooch’s recent comments about the Masters deserving an asterisk, you could start a winery with all the sour grapes being squeezed by LIV golfers as the majors approach.
