The Mexico Open Preview:

Finau is back in Mexico to defend one of the two titles that he won in 2023. He and Jon Rahm battled each other on Sunday as Finau got revenge from 2022 when Rahm beat him. The reigning Masters champion won’t be an issue this week, as Rahm left for LIV Golf in December.

Finau’s victory made tournament history as his name is by the Low 36-hole (129), Low 54-hole (194) and Low 72-hole score (24-under, 260). The three-shot win was also the largest margin of victory in the tournament.

This year, he is the top-rated player in the field. Finau currently ranks No. 24 in the Official World Golf rankings. He hasn’t finished lower than runner-up at this event, and his scoring average in the last six rounds is 64.83, so could fans see the first title defense since Tom Kim? Finau may just make that happen this week.

The players on the Aon Next 10 and the Aon Swing 5 in the field are No. 8 Thomas Detry, No. 9 Mark Hubbard, No. 10 Nicolai Højgaard and No. 11 Charley Hoffman.

Højgaard has had 13 consecutive paydays worldwide, including two runner-ups and a third. He is a threat this week, as it could finally be his breakthrough event.

Tournament officials have grown the rough out, and it is thick. There are also 106 bunkers scattered across the property. Hitting the fairway will be a must if guys want to go low.
