Finau, runner-up to Jon Rahm a year ago, flipped the script, beating Rahm head-to-head on the final day to win for the fourth time since tying for second in 2022.
Long and straight off the tee, on-target iron play and putting well. It added up to the most birdies in the field (27), the fewest bogeys (three) and Finau’s sixth PGA Tour victory.
By earning $US839,300 at the Mexico Open, Rahm has now earned $US14,462,840 for the season, which breaks the PGA Tour record. Just as April becomes May.
The world No.2 returned to his winning ways at the Mexico Open at Vidanta two weeks ago. It was an especially poignant win for the Spaniard, who will soon welcome a second child to the world with his wife Kelley.
