The Mexican Open threw Brian Campbell as a winner, helped by the fortune of a blow to the bark of a tree in the 18 of Sunday, which avoided the out of limits and allowed him to the one who dispatched in the first hole.
This lance prevented Potgieter, the bomber of the moment, to become at age 20 and 5 in the sixth youngest player to win a tournament of the PGA Tour. It would have been another notch in a race that has already meant as the early in giving a triumph at the Korn Ferry Tour, the Development League, when last year won the Bahamas Great Abaco Classic.
But, in addition, Vidonta Vallarta also attended a great Sunday by Josele Ballester, the Spanish who played the four days under par and that joined the three 69, a 65 (-6) that finished it with an Eagle in his hole 15, a torque 5, after embocing a putt of just over 4 meters. This success allowed him to reach the seventeenth place, which is the best performance of a Spanish amateur golfer in the PGA Tour outside the Jon Rahm universe, which was fifth in 2015 at the Phoenix Open and Tenth in Mayakoba.
Ballester, whose next stop among professionals will be the Masters of Augusta, a tournament he agreed after winning the US Amateur, and where if the tradition is maintained, it will be paired with Scottie Scheffler, has jumped in the world ranking of the 4,544 to 1,165 position, and It also has as a challenge to try to lead the university classification that sponsored the PGA Tour and whose winner is granted a card of the Great circuit. It is fourth, in a list led by David Ford.
