Andrew Novak fires a 9-under 62 in the Mexico Open’s third round to extend his advantage, moving to 23 under par and establishing a six-shot lead. Multiple reports describe a strong stretch on the back nine, including early momentum that widens the gap.
Earlier coverage from other outlets says Novak’s rise in the tournament is driven by late scoring as well, including an eagle and multiple birdies in the final holes on a prior day, which put him into contention for the lead. One outlet also references what the race looked like on the second round, including Griffin as a nearby challenger.
Across the different reports, the core details—Novak’s rounds, his under-par total, and the size of his lead—remain consistent. The main differences are the day and round being highlighted (Friday’s lead versus Saturday’s third-round extension) and the specific scoring moments chosen to frame how he builds the advantage, such as particular holes or the character of the finish.
