At this week’s Mexico Open at VidantaWorld in Vallarta, players have been treated to beautiful weather and opportunities for low scores. Fifty-four-hole-leader Aldrich Potgeiter, a 20-year-old rookie from South Africa, took advantage on Friday, firing a sizzling 61 to take a four-shot lead at the tournament’s halfway point.
Of course, in addition to the many perks that accompany a win on Tour, there’s also a big check stake. A total payout of $1.26 million will go to the winner, with six figures awarded all the way down to 18th place.
