Watch: Joaquin Niemann makes a stellar hole-in-one at the Australian PGA Championship

LIV golfer Joaquin Niemann holed out an ace during the final round of the 2023 Australian PGA Championship, marking it as the second hole-in-one of the week.

The Chilean star began the round of the Australian PGA Championship at 9-under and maintained that score until the fourth hole. On the par-3, 160-meter fourth hole, he sank a hole-in-one, which resulted in the crowd erupting in joy.

Following his ace, Niemann shared a high-five with his caddie, as well as Marc Leishman and his caddie. He then proceeded to run a lap and give high-fives to as many fans as he could.

This was the second ace at Royal Queensland after Western Australian golfer Curtis Luck aced the par-three, 17th 'party hole' during the second round.

How did Joaquin Niemann perform at the Australian PGA Championship?

Joaquin Niemann carded his second straight 4-under 67 in the final round of the Australian PGA Championship, securing a solo fifth-place finish. After 72 holes, he aggregated at 13 under, trailing Min Woo Lee by seven strokes. Lee went on to win the biggest title of his career.

Despite carding a bogey on the final hole, Lee finished the round with a 68, three strokes better than Rikuya Hoshino. The 25-year-old Aussie had a somewhat mixed final round, starting with a bogey but then sinking three birdies and an eagle on the par-5 ninth hole. On the back nine, he recorded three bogeys and two birdies, yet it was still sufficient to clinch the title at Royal Queensland.

Hoshino also shot a 3-under 68 to secure a solo runner-up position. A low 64 on Sunday helped Marc Leishman finish solo third at 16-under, while Curtis Luck ended the week in fourth place at 15-under.
