WATCH: Joaquin Niemann Hits Eagle on The 9th & Takes The Lead

The 2022 Masters has just begun, and it didn’t take long for the action to kick into gear! The tournament is already living up to expectations, from Tiger sticking it close and hitting a birdie on the 6th hole to Lee Westwood’s hot start.

Joaquin Niemann became just the 6th player in Masters history to hit an Eagle on the 9th Hole, “Carolina Cherry.” Check it out!

Vamos Joaquin!

With the Eagle, the 23-year-old takes sole control of the lead. As a Niemann fan, I hope he can hang on to the lead for a while!
