LIV Golf UK Final Leaderboard: Joaquin Niemann captures record seventh LIV Golf League win

LIV Golf UK Final Scores: Torque GC captain Joaquin Niemann wins for the fifth time this season and a record seventh time overall on LIV Golf.

Niemann, 26, closed with a 68 to see out a three-shot victory over Bubba Watson at JCB Golf & Country Club.

He started the final day with a huge six-shot lead and Watson whittled it down to just two shots when making birdie on The Party Hole 14th.

But Niemann quickly sealed the deal with a clutch birdie from six feet on the 15th.

The win not only marks Niemann's fifth of the season but also a record seventh on the LIV Golf League, with all of his wins coming since 2024.

The Torque GC captain is also now rapidly closing in on a first Individual Championship with two more regular events on the schedule.

Jon Rahm's Legion XIII successfully defended their team title by a whopping eight shots.

Legion XIII will now be assured of the No.1 seed at the season-ending Team Championship in Michigan next month.

Niemann incredibly sacked both his caddie and coach last weekend.

That was after he missed his second straight cut in the majors at The Open at Royal Portrush.

Despite Niemann's incredible performances on LIV Golf, he has only registered one top-10 finish in 26 major appearances.

Niemann spoke openly about a lack of confidence after The Open and his decision to fire his caddie and coach when speaking to reporters after the second round of LIV Golf UK.

He had his good friend Diego Salinas on the bag this week having previously worked with Gary Matthews since the 2020 US Open.

Joaquin Niemann wins LIV Golf UK by JCB

Niemann -17 (F)

Niemann makes bogey on 18 but it matters little as he sees out a three-shot victory on 17-under par.

Watson finishes in solo second on 14-under par, marking his best ever finish on LIV Golf. 

The win marks Niemann's fifth win of the season and a record seventh overall on the LIV Golf League.

Niemann has also put one hand on a first Individual Championship title with two more regular season events left before the Team Championship in Michigan next month. 

The victory comes during a week where Niemann changed both his long-time caddie and coach. 

It looks like the decision paid off.

Clutch from Niemann

Niemann -18 (15)

The response of a champion.

Niemann was on the ropes but he's just stuffed his approach shot from the right rough to six feet and then buried the birdie putt.

The Chilean moves back into a three-shot lead with just three holes left to play.

Watson did well to make par after coming up shy of the green with his approach from the right rough.
