Andrew Novak sails to a 5-shot win in the Mexico Open for first individual PGA Tour title
VALLARTA, Mexico (AP) — Andrew Novak clinched a five-shot victory at the Mexico Open after a remarkable stretch of birdies on the back nine, marking his first individual PGA Tour title. The Australian golfer, who led by six strokes, saw his margin shrink to three after a soft bogey on the 10th hole, and ultimately secured his win with three consecutive birdies on the 12th, 13th, and 14th holes.
Novak praised his performance, noting he "grinded it out pretty well." The win, coupled with a runner-up finish for Kristoffer Ventura, propelled Ventura to No. 76 in the FedEx Cup standings and secured his 2027 card. For Hughes, the tie for fourth position in the final group provided a significant boost in his quest to climb the rankings.
