fixyurdivot 17,526 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 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 33,485 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 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. 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 25,448 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 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? 1 Quote Taylor Made Stealth 10.5 Aldila Ascent Red R flex Ping G410 5, 7, 9 wood Alta 65 R flex Wilson D7 forged 5-GW - Mamiya recoil 460 R flex Edison Wedges 54 and 59 KBS Tour Graphite 80's EVNRoll ER 5 Titleist Pro VIx optic yellow with revkev stamped on them Still on that elusive hunt for a 3 wood that I'm able to hit - I don't know why, I crush the 5 wood and it's really a 4 wood anyway.

I didn't pick Rahm so he will probably win. 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...

Apparently the Resort as a whole is very nice according to Rahm interview after first round. He suggested that he will be back. 1 Quote Big Bertha (2014) / Demoing Sub70 849D V Steel 3 & 5 woods 939X 4H 699 (4-6) / 699 Pro (7-PW) with KBS Tour 120 shafts (stiff) 286 Wedge (50 degrees) 588 RTX 2.0 (56 degrees) ER8v with Fujikura MC shaft (firm) University of Miami Stand Bag Supersoft / Maxfli Tour 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. 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tee shot was way left on a hillside! Layed up, 3rd on the green, 2putt.
