LIV Golf Singapore has found its new winner, and it's none other than Joaquin Niemann, who also won LIV Golf Adelaide last month.Niemann took home the Saudi-backed event by a convincing five-shot margin, defeating Brooks Koepka.As soon as the 26-year-old defeated Koepka, he earned praise from the Lefty, Phil Mickelson himself. "Top 5? Try #1," replied Mickelson as a LIV golf fan posted: "Joaquín Niemann has got to be a top 5 player in the world right now. Currently sits at the top of the leaderboard in Singapore for his 2 win of the season and 4th in @livgolf_league . Vamos Joaco "Niemann's victory in Singapore not only earned him a $4 million paycheck but also brought him one step closer to qualifying for the U.S. Open, the only major tournament he has yet to earn entry into.During a pre-round interview, Niemann shared his two main goals: winning the tournament and securing a spot at the U.S. Open. With one wish granted, he now sets his sights on the other."I haven't had a great result in majors. It's something that kind of bothers me all the time," he confessed. However, Niemann draws inspiration from golf great Greg Norman, who remained optimistic about his major wins despite initial setbacks.Niemann reflected, "If you ask me, I'm pretty sure, and I'm pretty calm about it because I know it's going to come. I know I'm going to win a major. I know it's going to happen."With his confidence and determination, will Niemann finally break his major tournament streak and defeat the PGA Tour pros?
