The Mexico Open is not held in the United States, and most of the top rankers were absent because the Wells Fargo Championship, with a total prize of 20 million dollars, will be held in North Carolina, USA next week. Only last year’s champion and this year’s Masters winner Yon Ram (Spain) and last year’s runner-up Tony Finau (USA) are known.
Ram tied for 14th with a 4-under 67, and Finau tied for 4th with a 6-under 65. Austin Smotherman (USA), who left 8 under par 63 strokes, was named first. Tano Goya (Argentina) and Eric Van Luyen (South Africa) were tied for second place with a 7 under par 64 strokes.
