Andrew Novak already had a trophy from the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, which he won in 2025 as half of a team with Ben Griffin. This week he did it on his own.

Novak opened with a 67, then went 61-62 through the middle rounds and carried a six-shot lead into Sunday. It shrank to three after a bogey at the 10th. Then he birdied 12, 13 and 14 and closed with a 69 for a 25-under 259 and a five-shot win at Vidanta Vallarta. It is his first individual PGA Tour title and it paid $1.08 million and 500 FedExCup points.

Steven Fisk and Kristoffer Ventura tied for second at 20 under and each took home $534,000. Ventura jumped from 108th to 76th in the FedExCup Fall, which locks up his full card for 2027. Griffin, Novak's old Zurich partner, tied for fourth.

The ripple effect: Novak went from 89th to 53rd in the FedExCup and from 90th to 58th in the world ranking, a 32-spot leap that puts him in the OWGR top 60.

Miyu Yamashita won the Maybank Championship at Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club for the second straight year. She finished at 22-under 266, two clear of China's Yan Liu (20 under), and collected $450,000 from the $3 million purse.

The Cougs got a good one in Kihei Akina 💪

Novak and Griffin won as a pair in New Orleans, and now they are both on the leaderboard in Mexico. The plot thickens in Los Cabos: Griffin is the defending champion at the World Wide Technology Championship, fresh off a T4 next to his old partner's breakthrough.
