Joaquin Niemann is aware that he is well on his way to lifting the trophy at LIV Golf this season. Holding the leading position, the Chilean golfer is well on his way to winning the LIV Championship this season, but the next two events could be crucial for him. 

While Niemann is still enjoying his victory at LIV Golf UK, the famous golfer feels a bit of pressure regarding the next two events that will define the season. 

When asked by a reporter about his goals and thoughts on team and individual victories, Niemann emphasized that he stays focused on the present and doesn’t worry too much about the future or upcoming challenges.

" Yeah, more than looking back, whenever I get old and look at my career, I feel like it's not much I could do whenever I get older. I feel like all I'm thinking about is right now.

I'm really competitive. I don't want to obviously lose. I think most of the people on this tour are the same way.

Yeah, I mean, obviously I want to win the season. I think there is a lot of golf to play yet. Jon, we know how good of a player he is, also Bryson."- he said.

Niemann's mindset

Aware of how important a role mindset plays in a golfer's career, Joaquin stresses that his focus is on how to improve and show the best of himself.

It will be interesting to follow the next two LIV tournaments, and see if the Chilean golfer will finish the season in the right style. 

The pressure is there, but Niemann tries to distance himself from it.

"There is not much I can think about other than worry about what I'm doing, how I can improve and get better and play my best golf for the next two weeks.

I feel like that's all I'm worry about it right now.."

experienced golfer

Lee Westwood is currently playing at LIV Golf UK, and after the second day the experienced golfer finished with five strokes under par, 66.

The 52-year-old has been playing great lately, and it seems that with such performances many paths are opening up for him. Westwood has repeatedly emphasized his satisfaction with LIV Golf, the vision of this Tour, as well as his ambitions for the future.

Although there are some shortcomings, such as the lack of OWGR ranking points, optimism remains high among LIV officials and players.

In a media interview, Westwood, however, emphasized the music that was playing on the golf course yesterday, stressing that he has no problem with it.

Regardless of the fact that he is an experienced golfer, Westwood admits that his persona is open to change and adaptation. 

Lee is someone who puts an accent on innovations in the world of golf.

“Seemed appropriate, right?

Am I comfortable with it? Yeah, I don’t mind change and adapting. It’s people in general that don’t like change and adapting. People are used to the traditions and staying in their ways, their comfort.

But all sports have to adapt and change. I think golf is doing a great job of it through LIV, yeah.“- he said, as quoted by the Golfing Gazette.

Lee's future

Westwood has played solidly this season with 3 top 40 finishes, 3 top 25 finishes, and 1 top 10 finish. 

An experienced golfer can be delighted with this kind of performances, and there is no doubt that he will give his maximum to use the momentum. 

Regardless of his advanced age, his hunger and desire for success can be an example to others. 

He has a bright future ahead of him, and it will be interesting to see whether he can be a serious threat to his opponents at LIV Golf in the coming weeks.
