Today was one of those days, said Niemann, as quoted by LIV Golf.
Everything went my way.
Sergio Garcia reacts
On the other hand, the Fireballs looked great this week as well, with Garcia coming down with bronchitis and running a high fever. In an interview with the media, Garcia shared positive emotions about the weekend, although he wanted to help the team in another way.

The Spanish golfer is especially impressed by the desire of his teammates to celebrate at this competition, and to continue such a streak is truly an incredible thing.
This week was a tough week because I've been sick all week and haven't been able to help the team as much as I would have liked to, Garcia said. To see the performance that my teammates put in to be able to get this win was pretty impressive.
Joaquin Niemann's task
Niemann had a difficult task, being tied with Dustin Johnson before the final round. However, the Chilean birdied the first shot, and added four more birdies. On the other hand, his opponent made two bogeys at the start and then two more afterwards.
Brooks Koepka posed the biggest threat to him, who finished second. The American golfer admitted that he thought about the second place, aware that the first place was a somewhat unrealistic option.
