Andrew Novak makes late run of birdies to build 3-shot lead in the Mexico Open
VALLARTA, Mexico (AP) — Andrew Novak rebounded from the lead with an eagle and added three birdies on his final four holes on Friday to match his lowest score on the PGA Tour, a 10-under 61. This performance gave him a three-shot lead in the Mexico Open. After reaching the Tour Championship last year, Novak is currently ranked No. 89 in the FedEx Cup Fall.
He recently reviewed his stats and noticed they were similar to last year, with the exception of putting. "I was among the worst putters in the world for — well, on the PGA Tour — for eight months," Novak said. "I turned 66s and 67s into 69s and 70s, which doesn't really get the job done out here. I believe the putter I used in the Wyndham event has started to pay off, and my game remains unchanged. Now that I'm putting well, it's leading to positive results."
