The outstanding national golfer Joaquín Niemann was very confident in reaching the world top on the PGA Tour and claimed to know how to achieve it. In addition, he advanced his participation in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
Niemann said in dialogue with Third that “I know how to work to be number one in the world and it is a matter of time, thing that is given to me in the year, thing to win tournaments. I know that I have the game, so at any moment it can come out and I can be up there. “
Regarding his presence in Tokyo, the Talagantino said: “Hopefully I can win a medal there; then come the Playoffs, which is the most important, because they define everything that one has done during the year and, playing well these three weeks, influences a lot “.
“I always knew that I wanted to go. Obviously, for me representing Chile is one of the things that I love since I started playing golf. We did not grow up dreaming or with the illusion of winning a medal, because golf was never in the Games, and this is going to be the second time. It is something that came from nowhere and having the chance to participate for a medal is a dream for me, “he added.
Regarding the criticism that Cristian Garin received for not participating in Olympic tennis, the national said that “it is a complicated case. You have to put yourself very in their place. He is thinking about his career. I know it is difficult and I know he would have loved to go to the Games, but he is in a situation where he needs to play the big tennis tournaments. At Wimbledon he played incredible. “
“For Chileans, representing the country is something that everyone wants. You can see it in the footballers who are in big teams and enjoy playing for Chile, but in Garin’s situation I see that he is correct“he added.
Finally, he appreciated the arrival of Guillermo “Mito” Pereira to the PGA: “It was highly anticipated. I knew it was coming, it was a matter of time. Covid screwed up somehow (sic)but I knew it was coming. It cost him a bit, because he was playing well and had an injury, which happened a bit to carry the year he was having. It took him a bit, but it is part of the learning process, and I think he shows that he is prepared. TEVERYONE KNOWS YOU HAVE THE GAME. It’s more about arriving prepared, and he proved it in the first three tournaments he played on the PGA Tour. “
Niemann will begin his participation with “Mito” in Tokyo on Wednesday, July 28.
