VidantaWorld Mexico Open, final round
Novak wins Mexico Open by five with 25-under 259
A second-round 61, the lowest score of the week, carried Andrew Novak to a five-stroke win at the 2026 VidantaWorld Mexico Open, which he finished at 259 (−25).
Novak's win at Vidanta Vallarta rests on two rounds. His 61 and 62 in rounds two and three came to 123 on a par-71 course of 7,337 yards, which is 19 under par for the pair. He finished five clear of Kristoffer Ventura and Steven Fisk and took the title Brian Campbell held as defending champion. The American has no major championship titles in GNN's tables as of October 13, 2026, so this result stands on its own as a PGA Tour win against a field of 120.
