fixyurdivot Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 This week we have a new tour stop; The Mexico Open at Vidanta. This has been the country's national championship dating back to 1944 but this will be the first time it's been played as part of the PGA Tour schedule. It is also the first time a PGA event has taken place at Vidanta Vallarta - a Greg Norman Signature layout. By all accounts, this resort course is normally maintained to be quite forgiving (don't want to upset the guests) with wide open landing areas off the tee's. The design is slanted towards threading second shots over and around a generous number of bunkers and water hazards. It sounds like they have grown the ruff areas a bit but, short of having high winds, many suspect a wining score in the low 20's. The field is a wee bit lacking in strength with many from the Zurich Classic opting not to make the trip. Man, I would think these players wife's and kids would be hounding them to go to a resort venue . Jon Rahm is the top ranked player and favorite to win. Berger, Ancer, and Finau are the only others in the top 25 ranked players. Alvaro Ortiz won this event in 2021 and will be there to defend the title. Don't forget to make your pick for this weeks winner https://runmypools.com/JRMPNWWF. Good luck!

Kenny B Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Picking Ancer this week, but I would like to see Patrick Reed do well. This is a great tournament for another first time winner to get a boost tot he next level. Could be Aaron Rai. fixyurdivot 1 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revkev Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I feel bad for the tournament - tough date for your first time as an official PGA tour event. Glad they got a few plum names to help out. I'm thinking first time winner, too. Hoping Mr. Lahairi breaks through - why not? fixyurdivot 1 Quote Taylor Made Stealth 2 10.5 Diamana S plus 60 Aldila R flex - 42.25 inches SMT 4 wood bassara R flex, four wood head, 3 wood shaft Ping G410 7, 9 wood Alta 65 R flex Srixon ZX5 MK II 5-GW - UST recoil Dart 65 R flex India 52,56 (60 pending) UST recoil 75's R flex Evon roll ER 5 32 inches It's our offseason so auditioning candidates - looking for that right mix of low spin long, more spin around the greens - TBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't pick Rahm so he will probably win. fixyurdivot 1 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there are a number of courses around the area and would make a fun destination. mikeanthony and Hobert 2 Quote G410 Plus, 9 Degree Driver G400 SFT, 16 Degree 3w G400 SFT, 19 Degree 5w ZX5 Irons 4-AW Glide 2.0 56 Degree SW (removed from double secret probation ) ER5v Putter (Evnroll ER5v Official Review) AI-One Milled Seven T CH (Currently Under Product Test) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow Rahm puked it out. Tee shot was way left on a hillside! Layed up, 3rd on the green, 2putt.
