61 on Friday. 62 on Saturday.

Our take

Andrew Novak has already won the Mexico Open

Novak followed Friday's course-record-tying 61 with a 62 at Vidanta Vallarta. He's 23 under, six clear of Matthieu Pavon, with three bogeys in 54 holes. Sunday is a formality.

Our take

Fifa Laopakdee is on the Matsuyama path

The Arizona State senior won the Asia-Pacific Amateur again at Te Arai Links in New Zealand, three clear of Zack Swanwick. Only Hideki Matsuyama had won it twice in a row. Matsuyama's Masters came later. So will Fifa's.

Our take

Miyu Yamashita is the LPGA's most underrated star

She shot 68 to defend her Maybank title at 22 under, two ahead of Yan Liu, the first repeat winner in the event's history. The 2025 Women's Open champion also won the CPKC Women's Open by nine in August. Say her name more.

WhyGolf Wrist-X, the slide from the Instagram post

$79.99, down from $99.99. A wrist trainer that clicks when your lead wrist moves past the angle you set, from 0 to 70 degrees. Plugged In Golf called it a tremendous value.
