The Latest Breaking News from Joaquin Niemann

"I said I really hope I get a chance to play because I love the way (the course) looks.”

As the PGA Tour heads to Florida, we've got a pair of Honda Classic DFS lineups that could be productive this weekend.

Niemann began the week with a pair of 63s and never looked back.

LOS ANGELES — Fans at the 10th green at Riviera Country Club began chanting Joaquin Niemann's name after the 23-year-old Chilean drained a 22-foot putt from the fringe for an eagle, another in a bagful of great shots Niemann has hit during his three-day assault on the iconic Pacific Palisades…

Niemann, 23, is trying to become the first wire-to-wire winner of the Genesis since 1969.

LOS ANGELES — Joaquin Niemann continued his assault on the Riviera Country Club golf course Friday, shooting his second straight eight-under-par 63 for a two-round score of 126 at the Genesis Invitational, shattering the previous 36-hole course record of 130 by four strokes.

LOS ANGELES — It is both the talk and the scourge of the PGA Tour, the speculation for more than a year now about a Saudi-financed breakaway league bent on poaching golf’s top players with massive appearance fees and purses generating headlines.

Niemann leads by two, but several major champions are lurking on the leaderboard.

Joaquin Niemann had one of those days on Thursday. Had another on Friday. A record-setting day, to boot.
