The national golfer Joaquin Niemann had a great closing of competition in the RSM Classic, contest held in Georgia, United States.

‘Joaco’ lived his best day in the grass this Sunday, climbing 11 places on the list and finishing in the place T44, with a final score of -8.

Six birdies and an eagle left Niemann as one of the players with the best performance on the final day. However, a double bogey at hole 14 and a bogey at hole 3 prevented him from improving his placement further.

Finally, it was the local Robert Streb who stayed with the tournament, registering a score of -19.

Solidarity award

With these results, ‘Joaking’ was awarded an award of 21,450 dollars (more than 16 million pesos), amount that will have a solidarity purpose.

And it is that Niemann had announced through his social networks that everything won in the RSM Classic would be donated to Raffite, a child who was born with Spinal Muscular Atrophy and needs the most expensive medicine in the world (Zolgensma, which is worth 2.1 million dollars).

But, in addition, the national golfer had pledged to contribute $ 5,000 for each birdie and $ 10,000 for each eagle on the Georgia turf.

Thus, with his 21 birdies of the week and this Sunday’s eagle, Niemann will contribute to the minor’s family $ 136,450 (about 104 million pesos).

It is worth mentioning that Niemann also created a Gofundme, platform where you can make donations to the family of the minor affected by such a strange disease.
