  • Chilean golfer Joaquín Niemann finished third at the Italian Open, a DP World Tour event.
  • He concluded the tournament with a score of 18-under-par, two strokes behind the winner.
  • Niemann earned $189,000 and valuable world ranking points, moving closer to a Masters Augusta invitation.

Chilean golfer Joaquín Niemann secured a third-place finish at the Italian Open, a tournament on the DP World Tour. Niemann entered the final day at Circolo Golf Torino with a strong chance to contend for the title, trailing the leader, Spain's Eugenio López-Chacarra, by just two strokes.

Despite a final round featuring six birdies, one bogey, and one double bogey, Niemann finished with a total score of 18-under-par. This placed him behind the eventual winner, López-Chacarra, who finished at 24-under-par. England's Matt Wallace secured the runner-up position at 19-under-par.

While Niemann narrowly missed out on victory, the tournament proved financially rewarding, earning him a prize of $189,000. Crucially, he also gained significant points in the world rankings. These points bring him closer to the top 50, a benchmark that guarantees an invitation to the prestigious Masters Augusta tournament in 2027.

Niemann is now preparing for his next competition, the MW International Open.
