Andrew Novak goes low again for 62 and builds a six-shot lead in the Mexico Open

VALLARTA, Mexico (AP) — Andrew Novak strengthened his lead in the Mexico Open to six shots after posting a 9-under 62 on Saturday. The 29-year-old American began his tournament with an impressive 9-under 190, boasting the lowest round of the day. Novak's exceptional performance included a perfect third round and three birdies in a row, propelling him to a commanding lead.

Despite a minor mishap on the par-5 12th hole, Novak maintained his composure, securing birdie with a remarkable eagle. The final round is set to unfold, and Novak is determined to solidify his victory, stating, "Very much the same, maybe a little sloppy at the end," but attributing his success to a strong putter. Matthieu Pavon and Doug Ghim are close contenders, with Pavon just six shots behind and Ghim trailing by one shot.
