Tony Finau, champion of the Mexico Open at Vidanta

American Tony Finau has won the Mexico Open At Vidanta, beating the Spaniard and winner of the first edition Jon Rahm.

Finau took the lead on the second round and dominated the imposing Vidanta Vallarta course from start to finish, putting in a great performance in the final round to take the title from Jon Rahm.

The golfer from the United States managed to maintain his good rhythm and took advantage of Rahm’s attacks, because on the 16th hole, he made a big mistake that almost gave the title to his rival, culminating with 24 strokes under par.

The 33-year-old champion reached the sixth title in his career on the PGA Tour with this one, including three in the last year.

Happy and grateful to the Mexican fans, he highlighted the hospitality of its people and wished that this tournament will be held for many more years, he said at a press conference.
