On the 30th (local time), Kim Seong-hyun added 3 under par in the final 4th round of the PGA Tour Mexico Open (total prize money $7.7 million) held at Vidanta Vallarta (par 71, 7,456 yards) in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, finishing tied for 24th place with a total score of 10 under par 274. Kim recorded 4 birdies and 1 bogey. After exchanging 1 birdie and 1 bogey over 13 holes without much progress in lowering his score, he showed strong finishing power with 3 consecutive birdies from holes 14 to 16. He achieved the best result among Korean players.


‘Knife Dance’ Tony Finau (USA) won by 3 strokes with 5 birdies and no bogeys, finishing at 24 under par 260. This is his second win of the season and sixth career victory, about six months after the Houston Open last November. The winner's prize money is $1,386,000 (approximately 1.85 billion KRW). Finau also completely wiped away the disappointment of finishing runner-up in this tournament last year.



World No. 1 and defending champion Jon Rahm (Spain) finished in 2nd place at 21 under par 263. Brendan Wu (USA) also performed well, finishing 3rd at 19 under par 265. Among Koreans, An Byeong-hun surged with 7 under par to finish tied for 33rd place at 8 under par 276. No Seung-yeol ended the tournament tied for 46th at 6 under par 278.
