Sergio Garcia on his friendship with Joaquin Niemann before Sony Open
HONOLULU, Hawaii – There was a point during the final round of the Sentry Tournament of Champions last week when Sergio Garcia went from Joaquin Niemann’s competitor to his personal cheerleader.
Garcia had just watched the young Chilean scorch the front nine of the Plantation Course at Kapalua in 6 under par. Garcia had fallen well off the pace, and while he continued to try to finish as high as possible, he was clearly now trying to urge his young friend to the finish.
