SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. (AP) \u2014 The U.S. Open summary for Joaquin Niemann looks like this: 71 holes of solid golf, one really bad one, a thrown club, a two-shot penalty and the willpower to not spend too much time wondering about what might have been.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf my grandmother had tires, she\u2019d be a car,\u201d Niemann said Sunday, after wrapping up a tournament sullied by an opening-round 11 on the par-4 sixth hole that featured two tee shots out of bounds and two penalty strokes for hurling his club in frustration.<\/p>\n

Niemann shot 4-under 66 in the final round to finish at 1-over 281. It doesn\u2019t take heavy math to imagine the possibilities had he not shot 7-over par on one hole. More urgently, when he left the course, his 281 put him in a tie for seventh, which would earn him the invitation for next year that goes to the the top-10 finishers and ties.<\/p>\n

His 66 paired with a 65 he shot in the second round, shortly after learning his 9 on No. 6 had been bumped up two shots for violating the code of conduct. It meant Niemann was a good bet to tie for the two best rounds of the tournament along with recording the single worst one-hole score of the four rounds.<\/p>\n

\u201cA good experience, a good test for myself,\u201d he said. \u201cWhat happened on Thursday and coming back, I was pretty proud of\u201d myself.<\/p>\n

Niemann didn\u2019t try to deflect blame or suggest he didn\u2019t deserve the two-shot penalty for chucking the club after the two errant tee shots, then being rejected when he asked for relief from what he thought might be fire ants.<\/p>\n

Play was called for the day shortly after that. Niemann completed his first round Friday morning, then learned about the penalty.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was not trying to offend anyone,\u201d he said. \u201cI was frustrated. I had my expectations, which are always super high. I was playing good golf. I knew it was going to be a tough week, a long week, a challenging week. \u2026 I\u2019m not happy doing that. I\u2019m not proud about throwing a golf club.\u201d<\/p>\n

He did not want to delve into the debate about whether the USGA was too aggressive in docking him the two shots. Even though the course was virtually empty at the time, he did, in fact, throw the club.<\/p>\n

He called his comeback story \u201csomething to learn from.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked if there were lessons to be learned from his odyssey around Shinnecock Hills, he said: \u201cEveryone just stop throwing clubs. Just behave.\u201d<\/p>\n
