LIV golfer Joaquin Niemann almost got by his own club that he threw in frustration at The Masters. The Chilean golfer entered the weekend of The Masters with a round two score of two-over par 74. He shot four bogeys, including a double bogey at the 15th hole which led to his over par score.
On Saturday, Niemann had a steady start during round three of the tournament up until the sixth hole. He shot two consecutive birdies on the third and fourth hole.
On the seventh hole, Joaquin Niemann ended up shooting a bogey. After his third shot landed in the bunker, the frustrated 26-year-old golfer was seen throwing his golf club down furiously. The club bounced off the ground and came up aiming right up his face, which Niemann stopped with his hands.
