Joaquin Niemann Takes Aim At Safeway Open
6 years agoJoaquin Niemann will begin his assault on the PGA Tour when the fall season kicks off at this week's Safeway Open. The 19-year-old phenom from Chile was a revelation in limited starts last year. In just 13 events in 2018, Niemann logged four top-10 finishes and made the cut in eight of his last nine tournament starts. The youngster has all the tools to be a superstar on the PGA Tour and ranked 15th in strokes gained: tee to green and second in birdie average last season. He will be making his first career start at Silverado North, but should fare well at a course that demands excellent ball striking. Niemann will be a popular DFS option and is a terrific play in all formats this week.
