People love to say that the hardest thing to do in golf is following up a low round with another one. Well, Joaquin Niemann would like a word. After a Thursday 63, Niemann fired yet another 63 around Riveria Country Club on Friday and leads by two entering the weekend at the Genesis Invitational.
The Chilean started well here last season with rounds of 67 and 68 but struggled on Saturday with a 78. So the curtains shouldn’t be closed quite yet.
Cameron Young, a PGA Tour rookie, caught fire on Friday shooting a 62 which included a stretch of four straight birdies. Young sits two shots behind Niemann.
