A stunning Moving-Day performance by Jake Knapp at the Mexico Open has put a first PGA Tour title in the palm of his hands. The American set the front-nine scoring record (28) on his way to a brilliant eight-under round of 63 at Vidanta Vallarta and has a four-stroke advantage over his nearest challenger.
However, the tournament is far from a done deal with Finland's Sami Valimaki on 15-under and more than capable of going low once again. The PGA Tour rookie has carded rounds of 64, 67, and 67 this week, and will fancy his chances of putting up another score in the low 60s as he hunts for a debut title on American soil.
Elsewhere, Ben Silverman leads the best of the rest on -12 after he became the first man to shoot 63 on Saturday, consequently propelling himself right up the leaderboard.
The Canadian will tee off alongside Sweden's Henrik Norlander in the penultimate group, with America's Chan Kim one party in front as the only other player on -12 at the start of Sunday's action.
In a tightly-bunched field, otherwise, Robert MacIntyre, Erik van Rooyen, and Matt Wallace (all -11) will be hoping for slip-ups from those above them on the leaderboard as they aim to produce some of their best stuff.
Below are the tee times for round four of the Mexico Open.
