Andrew Novak dominated with an Open Stance to win the 2026 Vidanta World Mexico Open. Winning by five shots over second place finishers indicates everything was clicking for Andrew, including his putter. Nonetheless, Novak was either #1, #2, or #3 in proximity to the hole every day of the tournament. Proximity favors fewer putts per round, of course.

Andrew won the Zurich Classic team event with Ben Griffin in the Spring of last year for his first Tour Victory. Last week’s victory was his first solo win. Congratulations, Andrew! You’re not only talented but smart.
