3 hours ago by 0

Andrew Novak has captured the Vidanta Mexico Open.

Novak posted a final round two-under 69 and win by five shots at 25-under par that was five shots clear of America’s Steven Fish (63) and Norway’s Kristoffer Ventura (63) on 20-under.

Novak was never headed although it was not as had been planned as the American was level par through 11 holes before finally stamping his presence thanks to three birdies in succession from the 12th to 14th holes before a bogey at the 17th handed him a five shot leading margin.

He also jumped from No. 89 in the FedEx Cup Fall standings entering the week to a projected No. 53. Finishing the fall inside places Nos. 51-60 qualifies players for the first two signature events of 2027. The top 100 at the end of the fall retain their full-time status on tour.
