Full leaderboard<\/a><\/p>\n Joaquin Niemann led throughout to win the LIV Golf New York event on Sunday, while Jon Rahm secured his third straight season title.<\/p>\n Niemann fired a two-under 69 to finish on 16-under after 72 holes at Trump National Bedminster in New Jersey. <\/p>\n That meant the Chilean won by three strokes from American Harold Varner III and the 27-year-old met US President Donald Trump after extending his record for LIV wins to nine.<\/p>\n “I feel like the more they push me, the better golfer I’m going to become from every experience,” said Niemann.<\/p>\n England’s Lee Westwood and Scott Vincent of Zimbabwe were both seven off the pace in a share for third place.<\/p>\n Rahm finished tied for 41st after closing with a round of 76 but the Spaniard has clinched the season title.<\/p>\n The world number 13 has an unassailable 219-point lead over American Bryson DeChambeau heading into the final individual event of the season at Indianapolis in two weeks.<\/p>\n The 31-year-old won last year’s season title despite not winning a single event, but this year has two wins from 12 so far – in Hong Kong<\/a> and Mexico<\/a> – and has also had four runner-up finishes.<\/p>\n “It has been a great year,” he said. “A little sour taste in my mouth because of how badly I played this week but it has been something to be proud of.<\/p>\n “After last year, not getting a win and possibly having a question mark over the season-long race, to win twice and win it again definitely feels good.”<\/p>\n The LIV season concludes with the team championship in Michigan from 27-30 August.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LIV Golf New York final leaderboard -16 J Niemann (Chi); -13 H Varner III (US); -9 L Westwood…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":317415,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[9,11,10],"class_list":["post-317414","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/317414","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=317414"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/317414\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/317415"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=317414"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=317414"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=317414"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
