Q. Winning the event here at the PIF Saudi International. You're also the International Series winner as well, a season long title. I know at the beginning of the year it might not have been on your radar, but obviously it's something you have to take great pride in.
JOAQUIN NIEMANN: Yeah, it's the first time I won a long season. It's special. I played the first week on the International Series at Oman and played great there. I have Carlos Ortiz from Team Torque win there. I feel like guys -- Peter has been playing great in International Series. John Catlin had his chance to win his spot into LIV Golf.
I'm really happy how I played today. It was a tough day and being able to accomplish this means a lot.
Q. How was your experience playing the International Series?
JOAQUIN NIEMANN: It's been great. There's a few faces I haven't seen in a while which I'm able to see now. We travel all around the world, which I really enjoy doing that and playing in different cultures.
Different grasses, different air, different wind. We got to adjust to all that, adjust to all the jet lag and stuff. Yeah, it really prepares you for a really long season.
Q. How much respect do you have for the players who play in the International Series on the Asian Tour full-time and what they're trying to accomplish in their careers?
JOAQUIN NIEMANN: More what I appreciate is it's a big prize playing in the International Series. I feel like they're all waiting, they're all fighting their way for the future, the future of the game, the future of their career, and having a spot to get into LIV Golf is here too.
It's more than just say thank you to the platform to LIV Golf, for the International Series to have this setup and have that motivation for a lot of kids, a lot of young players that they all dream of playing on the biggest stage.
Yeah, I have a lot of friends back home that are trying to make it. I feel like the Asian Tour is going to be a new and a great pathway for them to accomplish their goals.
