How it happened: As he stood on the 18th green Sunday evening, Niemann summed things up perfectly. “This weekend, it felt like a month,” he said. He had stormed out to a record-breaking 36-hole lead after back-to-back 63s and then set a new 54-hole tournament record at 19 under, taking a three-shot advantage over Young into Sunday’s final round.
