In a battle of the two biggest names in the field, Tony Finau fended off Jon Rahm and won the Mexico Open at Vidanta for his second title of the season on Sunday in Vallarta, Mexico.

Finau denied the world No. 1 from Spain a second straight title at the relatively new PGA Tour stop at Vidanta Vallarta. Rahm had fired a third-round 61 to draw within two shots of Finau, but as the two stars contended head-to-head in the final group Sunday afternoon, Finau’s bogey-free 66 bested Rahm’s 67.
