Andrew Novak Goes Low Again for 62, Builds Six-Shot Lead in Mexico Open
Novak matched the low round of the day and remained at 23-under, with only three bogeys through 54 holes.
- On Saturday, Andrew Novak shot a 9-under 62 at the Mexico Open in Vidanta Vallarta to build a six-shot lead, positioning himself for his first individual PGA Tour title at 23-under 190.
- Novak dominated the back nine, going 5-under on the first five holes to stretch his lead to seven shots, having made only three bogeys through 54 holes of play.
- Matthieu Pavon carded a 65 to sit six shots back, while Doug Ghim shot a 64; American Kihei Akina, a 20-year-old sophomore at BYU, posted a 68 in a tie for seventh.

- "I'll do my best to put any pressure on him," Ghim said, while Novak remains focused, noting, "You've just got to be patient with it the next day.
