Niemann: Receiving trophy from Tiger was special

Joaquin Niemann of Chile describes the joy of winning his second PGA Tour tournament which featured the top-10 golfers in the world...

We're really unified all together and we have a great relationship. Knowing that they're there for me, waiting to see me receiving the trophy was something really special. I'm really thankful and happy because of the friends that I
