Joaquin Niemann surprises cameraman with "work of art" shot at LIV Golf Adelaide

Joaquin Niemann confused the cameraman during the opening round of the 2025 LIV Golf Adelaide event. The Chilean golfer teed it at the Saudi league in Australia and is currently fourth among individuals.

During the opening round of the event on Friday, February 14, Joaquin Niemann had an amazing shot, which was even surprising for the cameraman. While LIV Golf was taking his shot, his ball seemingly moved towards a bunker, and the cameraman was following the ball towards the bunker. However, surprisingly, the ball landed near the hole, and the cameraman quickly located the ball and focused on it.

Speaking on the Chilean's shot, the commentator said:

"Oh that is just a work of art. Beautiful low draw."

Torque GC shared a video of their captain Joaquin Niemann's impressive shot on their Instagram account.
