BIO
Joachim had an outstanding 2020 as he won for the first time on the European Tour at the Joburg Open. His win came in a year where he celebrated his 30th birthday and he also had the Nappy Factor going for him as he became a father for the second time in early 2020.
In 2021, he then won the end of season event - the AVIV Dubai Championship - along with four other top 5's to climb to his highest ever end of season ranking at 108th in the world.
He's a multiple winner on the Challenge Tour (2 wins in 2018) and now he is a multiple winner on the European Tour, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him add further wins to his resume. However, he needs to eradicate the odd moment of madness. At the 2019 Open de France he ran up a quintuple bogey 9 during his second round (he lost by a shot) and during the Alfred Dunhill Championship in 2020 he ran up a quadruple bogey when leading during the third round to end his chances.
Significant info
Joachim became a father for the second time in early 2020 and also turned 30 in August 2020.

Trends
Stays Hot
Joachim is a player who you must keep onside the following week if he posts a good finish. A run of 15-11-17 led to his win in 2021 which he followed with a 9th. In 2018 there were two occasions he followed up a runner up spot with a win on his next start. In 2019 he had a run of three tournaments where he went 4-25-2. In 2020, on his first start after his win at the Joburg Open, he led at the Alfred Dunhill Championship during the third round before a costly 8 set him back.
Events to back Hansen
Qatar Masters
Loves golf in this part of the world and 9th here in 2021 despite poor form.
Abu Dhabi Championship
A new venue at Yas Links should suit his eye. Form at the Scandanavian Masters and Scottish Open over the years suggest he could enjoy the test.
Playoff Record
0-1. Joachim has only been in one playoff. He made a bogey at the second hole of the Swedish Challenge in 2018 to lose out to Oliver Wilson.
