Jon Rahm goes wire-to-wire to win 2022 Mexico Open at Vidanta for his seventh PGA Tour title

The win is Rahm’s 7th on Tour and first since last summer’s U.S. Open.

Jon Rahm brought his A-game to Mexico this week.

The world No. 2 played “probably as solid a round as I’ve had all year” on Thursday and held his own on Sunday despite some late charges up the leaderboard to claim his seventh PGA Tour title at the 2022 Mexico Open at Vidanta in Vallarta. Rahm, who last won at the 2021 U.S. Open, now has as many wins on the PGA Tour as the DP World Tour.

The 27-year-old shot a 2-under 69 to earn the wire-to-wire win at 17 under, one shot clear of runners-up Brandon Wu, Tony Finau and Kurt Kitayama at 16 under. Wu and Finau each shot course record 8-under 63s in the final round to finish at 16 under, while Kitayama made birdie on the last to join the trio in second. Davis Riley rounded out the top five at 15 under following a 3-under 68 in the final round to join Rahm and David Lipsky as the only players to shoot all four rounds in the 60s.

He skipped graduation at Stanford to play in the U.S. Open. Here’s 4 other things to know about Brandon Wu, who shot a 63 at the Mexico Open at Vidanta.

He missed the cut in nine of his first 10 events this season, but things are looking up for Brandon Wu.

He missed the cut in nine of his first 10 events during the 2021-22 PGA Tour season.

But things are looking up for Brandon Wu, who fired a final-round 63 at the Mexico Open at Vidanta after carding six birdies and an eagle.

“Proud of the way I just kept my head down,” he told Amanda Renner during the CBS telecast after his round. He said he tried not to look at the leaderboard but did admit “yea, a little nervous here and there.”

The 63 sets the competitive round record at the Greg Norman-design which is hosting a PGA Tour event for the first time. About 20 minutes later, Tony Finau matched the 63 and also tied for the lead with Wu at 16 under.

At the time, Jon Rahm and Kurt Kitiyama were also 16 under. Rahm later got to 17 under to take the outright lead while Wu was hanging out for a couple hours to see if his score would hold up.

Who is Brandon Wu?

Here are five things to know about the up-and-coming talent.

  1. Born in Danville, California, Wu played at Stanford, where he helped the Cardinal win the 2019 national championship. His yardage book cover has Stanford’s slogan “Fear The Tree” on it.
  2. In the span of about 30 days in 2019, Wu also qualified for the U.S. Open, represented the U.S. at the Palmer Cup and claimed a share of 35th in his U.S. Open debut.
  3. Because he made the cut at Pebble Beach, he was unable to walk with his Stanford classmates for graduation at Stanford Stadium. Instead, after walking out of scoring at the U.S. Open, he met Stu Francis, chair of the championship committee, who handed Wu his Stanford diploma.
  4. In August of 2020, Wu won the Korn Ferry Tour Championship, finishing a shot ahead of Greyson Sigg. It marked his first professional victory.
  5. Since ending that missed cut streak, he’s made five cuts in a row, including a tie for third at Puerto Rico.

Jon Rahm makes 8 birdies Friday, leads by 2 at the Mexico Open at Vidanta

Jon Rahm was asked to name his favorite shot from his second-round 66 at the Mexico Open at Vidanta.

When Jon Rahm was asked to name his favorite shot from his second-round 66 at the Mexico Open at Vidanta, he didn’t have to think hard. There were eight birdies to choose from but the reigning U.S. Open champion locked in on his tee shot to 3 feet at the par-3 ninth hole.

“The 6-iron was perfect,” Rahm said.

Rahm’s card on Friday at Vidanta Vallarta contained a few hiccups along the way – three bogeys were scattered at Nos. 2, 10 and 16 – but eight birdies were good enough to build a two-stroke lead over rookie Alex Smalley at the halfway point of Mexico’s national championship, which dates to 1944.

“I feel like I might be a little bit more satisfied with today’s score than yesterday,” Rahm said. “Yesterday I felt like I was really under control and relatively speaking stress free, right? Today was a bit more of a grind, but still a really good round of golf.”

Rahm’s round began on a high note with a 28-foot birdie putt at the first, but he sprayed his driver at the second right, chipped out sideways and failed to save par. Then he bounced back with a 15-foot birdie putt at the third and tacked on two more birdies at six and nine to grab sole possession of the lead. Four birdies on the back nine were offset by two bogeys to stake him to the 36-hole lead at 12-under 130.

“Is it a surprise?” PGA Tour SiriusXM Radio analyst Mark McCumber said. “I don’t think so.”

Mexico Open: Leaderboard | PGA Tour Live on ESPN+

Rahm is seeking his first win since last June at the U.S. Open. He hasn’t missed a cut since the Fortinet Championship at the season-opener in September, but has dropped to World No. 2 and hasn’t recorded a top-10 in his last four stroke-play starts.

By Rahm’s high standard, it qualifies as a slump. But Rahm, the heavy favorite this week, looks hungry to get back into the winner’s circle in a country where he already has notched two third-place showings at the WGC-Mexico Championship at Chapultepec, and is seeking his seventh Tour title.

“I can’t really complain about anything I’m doing right now, so hopefully I can keep that good ball-striking going and keep rolling it the way I have,” he said.

Who the heck is Andrew Novak? Here’s 5 things you didn’t know about the rookie in the hunt at the Mexico Open at Vidanta

If you aren’t familiar with Andrew Novak’s story, you’re likely not alone.

Who the heck is Andrew Novak?

He’s just three strokes out of the lead at the inaugural Mexico Open at Vidanta, that’s who he is. But if you aren’t familiar with his story, you’re likely not alone.

He shot 4-under 67 in the second round at Vidanta Vallarta in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and improved to 9-under 133, his career low 36-hole score to par in a PGA Tour event.

He’s tied for third and sits three shots back of leader Jon Rahm heading into the weekend.

“Nine through two days is pretty good golf,” Novak declared. Not too shabby, indeed.

Here’s 5 Things to Know about Novak:

  1. When Novak was three years old, the Raleigh, North Carolina, resident attended a college golf tournament and was given a logoed ball by Carl Pettersson, the future five-time Tour winner who was competing for North Carolina State. That simple gesture from the big Swede and Novak was hooked on the game.
  2. Novak became the second golfer—after William McGirt—to make it to the PGA Tour in Wofford College program history. Novak was a three-time All-Southern Conference selection and two-time NCAA regional individual qualifier, while also being named the 2017 Southern Conference Player of the Year.
  3. Novak turned pro in 2017, worked his way up from the Mackenzie Tour to the Korn Ferry Tour, where he overcame a sluggish stretch—he missed seven straight cuts at one point—and rode winning the 2020 Korn Ferry Tour Lecom Suncoast Classic to earn his Tour card for finishing in the Top 25 on the money list.
  4. Novak is making his 20th career PGA Tour start this week. Novak appears to like playing golf South of the Border. Two of his top-25 finishes have been in Mexico and he shot a sizzling 63 at Mayakoba, his career low on Tour. He’s still searching for his first top-10 finish (T-11 at Corales Puntacana Championship in March).
  5. Novak claims to be an authority on all things football. He is a die-hard Carolina Panthers fan and often posts his takes on the team’s draft picks and performance.

Novak, 27, followed up an opening-round 66 with two birdies and a bogey on his first nine holes Friday. Then he caught fire, making birdie on five of his first six holes of the back nine. He was 11 under and held the solo lead, but made bogeys on two of his final three holes, including a three-putt at the last.

Mexico Open: Leaderboard | PGA Tour Live on ESPN+

With a late-Saturday tee time, Novak has a chance for a big weekend ahead of him. He has yet to earn a six-figure check but could be in line for a seven figure one if he were to go on to win ($1.314 million to be exact).

He entered the week ranked 157th in the FedEx Cup and No. 361 in the world. Asked to describe his rookie campaign, he said, “It’s been a little tentative. haven’t quite played the golf I’ve wanted. I feel like I’ve played decent golf at times, but I haven’t really put it together for one full week yet, not four solid rounds. I think a lot of it is learning new courses. This past year on Korn Ferry when I was playing so well, that was my fourth year, I knew every course, I was showing up, I knew what I wanted to do, it was just execution. This year it’s been a little bit more learning the courses and I think that’s kind of led to some of the struggles.”

But not for the first two days along the Pacific on the western coast of Mexico.

Jonathan Byrd admits his 15-year-old son outdrives him by 20 yards

Jonathan Byrd recently passed one of those milestones in golf that many dads eventually come to know all too well.

Jonathan Byrd has five PGA Tour wins and has earned more than $20 million in his career.

But recently he passed one of those other milestones in golf that many dads eventually come to know all too well: his son now routinely outdrives him.

Jackson, who is 15 now, started bombing it past his old man last year when he was 14.

“He hits it about 20 by me,” Byrd said after his first-round 64 at the Mexico Open at Vidanta. He’s one of five golfers tied for the lead at 7 under. “He hits it as far as the two guys I played with today. It’s humbling.”

Mexico Open: Leaderboard | PGA Tour Live on ESPN+

Byrd, 44, played alongside Alex Smalley and Taylor Moore Thursday and will again Friday for the second round.

Earlier this year at the AT&T Pebble Beach, Byrd recorded his first top-10 in three years. Overall, however, he’s missed the cut in six of the 11 events he’s entered this season. His last win was at the 2011 Hyundai Tournament of Champions.

But this week, his first 18 holes south of the border proved encouraging.

“It’s just any tournament you play well. … if I go out and beat my 15-year-old son, it gives me confidence. If I go beat Grayson Sigg or take money off of him or Keith Mitchell at home, that gives them confidence just when they beat me. Winning feeds itself and gives you confidence, so I’ll take anything at this point.”

As for those friendly matches with his son?

“The problem is he’s getting better and better and he keeps hitting it further and further and I keep hitting it the same distance. It’s just another challenge. I love watching my kids do anything, especially when they’re doing it well.

“My son’s a great golfer and I love watching him play. It brings me great joy, but it’s also fun for me to go out there and compete with him.”

And while the younger Byrd may be longer off the tee box these days, there’s more to golf than that.

“Still got to get it in the hole.”

PGA Tour’s baby boom: Camilo Villegas on being a father again while Max Homa announces he and wife are expecting

“So much perspective incoming.”

The PGA Tour is experiencing a Baby Boom.

Add Max Homa to the list of soon to be papas.

In the last two years, Tour pros from Rory McIlroy (Poppy) to Jon Rahm (Kepa) to Rickie Fowler (Maya) to Jordan Spieth (Sammy) have all joined the first-time father club.

It stretches beyond the big names. Mark Hubbard (Harlo), Hank Lebioda (Henry), Luke List (Harrison) and Harold Varner III (Liam) are proud papas too, and the list goes on. PGA Tour Daycare, or what the kids call Golf School, is going to be busy. But perhaps the happiest of the baby announcements was that of 40-year-old Camilo Villegas, who welcomed son Mateo on Dec. 21.

Villegas and wife Maria suffered the loss of daughter, Mia, who was 22 months old when she died of cancer in 2020. When Villegas spoke to Golfweek in October 2020, he expressed hope that he and his wife would have another baby.

“My wife was nervous at the beginning. We talked to the doctors and they said it was just a bad lottery ticket. There’s nothing that suggests this would happen again,” he said in the earlier story. “We’re looking forward. It took us a while to get pregnant. In the meantime, we’re going to help others, remember the good, and focus on what’s coming.”

Ahead of the Mexico Open at Vidanta, Villegas spoke about being a parent again. “He’s great. He’s fun to be around,” Villegas said. “Mateo’s four months old and the family is doing good. Obviously 2020 was a tough year for us, but to have Mateo in our life is pretty special.

“We have Mia’s Miracles Foundation to just kind of add to the joy of giving back and helping others and giving a little purpose to our life and why we’re here and how we can once again give back. It was a tough experience, but without it we wouldn’t have Mia’s Miracles. And obviously we truly, truly miss Mia, but we’re going to do some great things for others and try to make the best of it.”

Villegas is embarking on a stretch of playing five straight weeks and noted it is difficult to be away apart for so long. “I’m missing him and I can’t wait to just play some good weeks and head back and just give him a hug,” he said.

On Monday, Homa announced on social media that he and his wife Lacey are expecting a boy. They did their “reveal” by having their dog run out with baby-blue balloons attached around its waist and a scarf that read, “Big sis.”

“So much perspective incoming #babyboy”
