WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — Joaquin Niemann became the first player from Chile to win on the PGA Tour, shooting a 6-under 64 on Sunday for a six-stroke victory in A Military Tribute at The Greenbrier.
The 20-year-old Niemann entered the final round of the season opener with a two-stroke lead and held off challenges from Tom Hoge and Richy Werenski.
Niemann birdied the final three holes to finish at 21-under 259 at Old White TPC.
It marks the first year since 1931 that there has been more than one tour winner under age 21. Matthew Wolff won the 3M Open in June at 20 years, 2 months old.
Niemann is the first third-round leader to win at The Greenbrier since its debut in 2010.
Hoge shot 65 and finished second at 15 under. Werenski faded to a 69 and finished in a four-way tie for third at 14 under.
