After a chaotic run in the US, the PGA Tour has landed in Mexico. The 2024 Mexico Open is well underway, and it is turning out to be a nail-biter. After the first two rounds, Jake Knapp, Matt Wallace, Sami Valimaki, and Alvaro Ortiz are leading the pack with a score of 11-under. This four-way tie for the top spot will make the weekend rounds a worthy watch. However, weather will play a crucial role in making or breaking this event.
