Watch: Joaquin Niemann makes his first hole-in-one in LIV Golf at Hong Kong event

Joaquin Niemann made an impressive hole-in-one at the 2024 LIV Golf Hong Kong event. In the third round on Sunday, March 10, the Chilean golfer showcased his skills by acing the par-3 eighth hole with a remarkable shot from 189 yards.

He started strong with a birdie on the sixth hole and a par on the next. But his eagle on the eighth hole caught everyone's attention. This was the first time he had achieved a hole-in-one in LIV Golf.

Niemann has already won two LIV Golf tournaments this year, and his performance in Hong Kong was no different. After making the shot, Niemann celebrated with his caddie and playing partners, Scott Vincent and Kevin Na.

The LIV Golf event shared a video of their celebration on its X account (formerly Twitter) with the caption:

"ACE ALERT 🚨 @joaconiemann cards his first hole-in-one on LIV Golf 👏#LIVGolf @TorqueGC_"

It is important to note that the final round of the 2024 LIV Golf Hong Kong is underway, and at the time of writing, Abraham Ancer, who took a five-stroke lead on Saturday, currently has a two-stroke lead in the game. He has yet to play on six holes.

On the other hand, Joaquin Niemann finished in a tie for sixth place, trailing the leader by four strokes.
