The PGA TOUR returns to Mexico this week for the Mexico Open at Vidanta, the final event before the TOUR heads east. Tony Finau returns to defend his title. Incredibly, he’s managed finishes of T2-Win since it was introduced in 2022. He hasn’t missed a cut this season and claimed T19 last week at The Genesis Invitational. Nicolai Højgaard will also be in Mexico and enters the week on a run of 13 consecutive cuts made worldwide including a win, two seconds and a third. He finished 33rd at Vidanta Vallarta last season en route to earning his TOUR card via nonmember FedExCup points. Emiliano Grillo will also be teeing it up this week. He’s already made six out of six cuts on the season with four top-25s. He’s also two-for-two at Vidanta Vallarta with a strong T5 finish last year. Others to look out for are Thorbjorn Olesen, Robert McIntyre and Thomas Detry.

Ahead to the 17th David lipsky is from way downtown for birdie this is on a pretty good line are you kidding me are you kidding me wow David lipsky 67 fet and lipsky continues to rise up that lead Cameron Champ at 11 this wouldn’t be much more than a a

Wedge for cam champ and F fantastic swing dances around the right side of the cup and while these guys were tearing off sh Kim over at the 11th a moment ago you mentioned it m beautiful golf swing very solid through the impact there oh yeah sliding from left to right just

Under 30 ft can he get one to go yes he can and that was carrying pace we haven’t seen many putts like they slow down at the cup if you find being aggressive it can stay high unlike this end over end beautiful stroke and slightly right to

Left oh yeah big bird for Cameron Champ doing it again out here at the Mexico open at bant three just struggled now fale taking it way up in the air yeah this will get better and better now this is little bit of a scary ho location

With the penalty area tucked on the left side but 160 yards shouldn’t be much more than a wedge for champ oh yeah getting B being able to cover the the ball hit Fades and hit it long it’s nice to have in your Arsenal chz Rey gets it back to even back to 17

Fred beyi on the team this on a pretty aggressive line also look at this W hey anything you can do wow do just a little bit better on the PGA tour then there’s Sweden’s Henrik norlander he played here last year he missed the cut he lost his card

Last year all he did today was turn in five birdies and an eagle including that t- shot at the ninth which was one of his five birdies 6 under 65 should move a little right to left see there’s a little knob that’s going to push it right to left right off the

Bat and travel down the slope looks good yes Rey with the birdie here at at number two and that gets him to two under through his first 11 all right over the fifth hole this is Ben then Taylor for birdie off the green with the putter

It’s a chip in how about that right there well done all right to the 15 now that’s sh Kim on the par three good balance o look at this this coming in tight beautiful from David lipsky who’s a part of the large group at six under from long range lipsky at this 15th

Green I agree with you I mean it’s just it’s I can’t imagine you’d think about laying up here I mean that whole location is not protected by anything uh hello look at this look at that Boyard he’s there in one on this par 4 as going to have a tremendous look

For Eagle here at seven and remember Christal Del solar he was the guy guy that two weeks ago today in the first round of a corn fairy Tour event shot 57 that was one of seven birdes today that fell trying to join the party this looks to be on a very

Aggressive line oh eyes up and down yeah all over it and a fantastic shot starting out his round on that next shot see what you did there Evan Eric Van royan 33 and A2 ft on three up and over here maybe he called for it to break and it did talk to

Your just gradual from right to left here oh what a pure stroke for Jake knap to get to four under continuing to impress out here on the PGA tour and he’s playing with Steven Jagger another man that’s been playing some fantastic golf armers Insurance open oh look out here making this hole

That measures over 500 yards 62 and approach last season as this is tracking oh yeah guo how about Johnny Vegas trying to save par at 16 let’s go Johnny Yes rattles it down yeah as we get a look at Bob McIntyre on 17 it’s got to go will it go Bobby Mack

Eat to one over that is impressive on that 17th hole for these guys with the course firming up that’s a chance for Eagle oh dietr 33 ft fills it up goes along Vincent Norman for birdie he loves it oh yes and royan 264 out that’s an iron a Apex of

127 ft straight at it and how about that for Eagle left for Van royan here at the sixth yeah another guy starting to feel it Dylan woo on the te at 7even 290 yd Par Four can get home today oh look at this Fant he will have

That for Eagle he’s setting a high standard for himself Vegas out of the bunker from 214 there’s no way right good contact Johnny Vegas at the 10th well when you talk about Aaron badley in his golf game short game comes first putting chipping and hole outs that went way up

In the air an unusual way to play that shot and this is at the 11th and Aaron badley for birdie at this par three this one plays downwind good putt there from badley continues to make some good putts pretty good stretch here for badley not only

Birdies at five six and seven after a boogie at the third back to the fifth here Hayden Springer yo that close to Perfection at number five for the rookie good job getting that uh this close to the hole at 10 this for birdie trying to get three

Under and does a very rare birdie only the fifth of the day green van royan has missed today comes at that difficult T this was earlier Matt Wallace off the T at nine cutting it back into the wi a little bit this should be a good shot should hold nicely wow to beautiful

Approach that had this for birdie there’s that Ridge it’s going down the hill boom down into the hole damn this is right where we saw him yesterday when he finished his ninth hole in the Pro Am he really really likes this golf course wow likes that shot what’s not to like about

This should be able to spin that a little if he chooses to oh round it goes and down for Van royan the eagle lands he likes to hit a draw this one saw him on the left side of this T box began the year with a medical

Extension almost a sink sticks it right in there had 17 starts to earn MJ Duffy good drive wind helping from the right and just a probably a big Sand Wedge spin there we go he’s not having any trouble with that approach shot that Tyson Alexander for birdie this has been a

Popular spot left of the hole about 30 feet away good for Pace down it goes Alexander with a birdie at the fifth coming home great story at Amer one of eight players from Mexico playing in this tournament oh and way to do it front of the crowd CT pan drove it right

Into trouble to 16 so has this for par at this long Par Four looks good oh yeah tan four that’ll make fluff happy that’s right there he is 76 years old not quite in that uh fluff category MJ Duffy now from long range oh man hits the black stick a direct hit

I think that one would have gone in if the flag sck was out too it was so much in the middle three in a row four on the last five from the Fairway but not a great angle to this front left hole location oh aggressive unless you can hit your irons like that

Carrying nice speed oh look at that threes from everywhere well we got a lot of pressure on CT pad now nevertheless he’s feeling the heat a little bit this is w at 15 has a 200 under round going and it just got a little better boy that was a pretty

Putting stroke right there for Wallace and we haven’t seen a lot of birdies on this little hole looking at it the 16 very similar to van rins and good looking shot yeah played a cut shot in there wow wow he had to move it sometimes a tree like that in the ferry

Makes you be more definitive on this type of shot Patrick Fishburn had this for birdie you get the feeling this might uh go down fa I kind of think flag stick in did it get there from 46 feet all pars until that drops from long range as he looks for

Another win he’s had some great success already in Mexico winner of another PGA Tour event here last year an emotional one for him is he going to get another one David lipsky Henrik norlander and and Christal Del solar who shot a 57 on the corn fairy tour two weeks ago today

Also in that pack just to back and there’s Rogers looming once again at five under and some other players hoping to get in even lower then van royan valami has a chance Matt Wallace good eagle look at 18 Aaron badley with a 68 today at three under and there’s Santiago de lafuente

The Amer three under still with some holes left to try to take that lore what a story that could be an amateur here playing in his home country of Mexico but they’re all chasing van royan in at eight under two clear of the next best thanks for watching the PGA Tour on
