The national golfer Joaquín Niemann had a great closing of the competition at the RSM Classic, a contest held in Georgia, United States.
‘Joaco’ had his best day on the grass this Sunday, climbing 11 places on the list and finishing at 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 took the tournament, registering a score of -19.
Solidarity award
With these results, ‘Joaking’ was awarded a prize of $ 21,450 (more than 16 million pesos), an 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 Rafita, a child who was born with Spinal Muscular Atrophy and needs the most expensive remedy 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 the eagle this Sunday, Niemann will contribute to the family of the minor 136,450 dollars (about 104 million pesos).
It is worth mentioning that Niemann also created a Gofundme, a platform where donations can be made to the family of the minor affected by such a strange disease.
