Erik van Rooyen won in Los Cabos last November. He’s trying to win again in Mexico this week. After the first round, he held a one-shot lead.
The leaderboard may not be stocked with big names, but there are plenty of storylines to follow.
Tony Finau, the defending champion, is the highest-ranked golfer in the field. He’s in the afternoon wave Friday. Meanwhile, sponsor exemption MJ Daffue opened with a 65 and started the second round two shots off the lead.
Vidanta Vallarta is a par-71 Greg Norman design measuring 7,456 yards. The purse at the Mexico Open is $8.1 million with $1.458 million going to the winner. The winner will also receive 500 FedEx Cup points.
This week’s live, four-feed coverage of PGA Tour Live on ESPN+ will include a Spanish-language channel. Commentary for that will include host Marco Farias with Carlos de Corral and Sara Diaz as analysts, and John Sutcliffe reporting on the course.
