Niemann closer to US Open berth after LIV Singapore win Singapore, Singapore

Joaquin Niemann won LIV Golf Singapore by five shots on Sunday to rise to the top of the breakaway league's standings and stay on course for a place at the US Open.
The United States Golf Association (USGA) will this season award a berth in the season's third major to the top-ranked player from the Saudi-backed series who is not otherwise exempt.
The US Open is the only 2025 major for which Niemann is not yet already qualified.

"I hit it amazingly and stayed really in the moment on those tough tee shots.
"I was able to get it going quickly at the beginning of the round. That helped me to build that momentum for the rest of the whole round," added the 26-year-old.
