6 years agoJoaquin Niemann fired an impressive seven-under 63 Thursday in the opening round of A Military Tribute at the Greenbrier. The PGA Tour rookie went bogey-free with seven birdies on the day and led the field in strokes gained tee to green. At only 19 years old, Niemann has turned heads with his excellent play on the professional level this year. He seems to feel at home at the Greenbrier, as he finished 29th in last year's tournament as an amateur. The clubhouse leader the majority of the day, Niemann was eclipsed by Webb Simpson late in the afternoon and will enter Friday's second round two strokes off the lead.
