Can Aldrich Potgieter add his name to the history books?
The 20-year-old is the solo leader by a shot heading into the final round of the 2025 Mexico Open at VidantaWorld. He would become the sixth-youngest winner on the PGA Tour since 1983 with a win, that coming on the heels of becoming the youngest winner in Korn Ferry Tour history in 2024.
Potgieter is at 20 under, and Brian Campbell is a shot back also looking for his first Tour win. Stephan Jaeger, who won the Texas Children’s Houston Open in 2024, is three back and primed for a Sunday charge.
Follow along here for live updates from the final round of the 2025 Mexico Open.
Aaron Rai ties lead
Aaron Rai won the Wyndham Championship last summer for his first PGA Tour win, and he’s in position for his second victory this week. His latest birdie on the par-3 11th tied Brian Campbell for the lead, and he’s at 19 under.
Brian Campbell takes solo lead to back nine
Who wants to win the Mexico Open? It’s open for the taking. Brian Campbell is the solo leader at 19 under at the turn, and Aldrich Potgieter is one back after another bogey on the par-3 ninth. He’s tied for second a shot back with Aaron Rai.
Final group struggling
There has been no momentum for the final group Sunday. Co-leaders Potgieter and Campbell both made bogeys on the par-4 eighth after making birdies on 7. Rai is now a shot back at 18 under with Potgieter and Campbell sitting at 19 under.
Brian Campbell to the front at Mexico Open
After consecutive birdies on Nos. 6-7, Brian Campbell is tied for the lead in Mexico. He’s at 20 under, tied with Potgieter, who birdied the 7th to get back to 20 under where he started the day.
Aaron Rai ties lead
What a start for Aaron Rai. He eagles the par-5 sixth, the first big bird on the hole Sunday, and he’s tied at the top with Potgieter. Rai is 5 under thru six holes.
Eagle lands for Joel Dahmen
The seventh at Vidanta Vallarta is a short par-4 that allows every player to take a shot at driving the green. Joel Dahmen did just that, and it led to an eagle.
Shaky start for final group
It has been a less-than-stellar start for the leaders. Potgieter’s lead is back to one after a bogey at the par-4 third, and he was unable to convert on a lengthy par putt for the second hole in a row. He’s at 19 under and one shot ahead of Campbell. The duo and Jaeger are all 1 over through 3 holes.
Aldrich Potgieter makes clutch par save on 2
Potgieter found the fairway bunker off the tee, and his approach shot barely cleared the lip, but he found the green. Then his first putt left plenty of meat on the bone, leaving 7 feet for par. But he poured it in to keep a two-shot lead, and those are the putts that can be the difference between winning and losing.
Leaders underway at Mexico Open
The final group is underway, and Potgieter’s lead has grown. He made a comfy par, but Stephan Jaeger was in trouble off the tee and it resulted in a bogey, then Brian Campbell missed a 4 footer for par to also make bogey and drops to two shots back.
The youngster looks cool, calm and collected early, but we’ll see whether that continues.
Aldrich Potgieter shooting for special Sunday
Potgieter could have a special Sunday on tap if he wins the Mexico Open. Here’s a look at the significance behind his final 18 holes.
