It makes you be that little bit better … I just enjoyed the struggle out there,” [said the 25-year-old champion](. It certainly was a struggle out there, and not just because of the weather. Patrick Reed put his feet up after birdies on his last two holes to post the clubhouse lead at 14 under. Herbert’s playing partner Danny Lee overcame a double bogey-bogey-bogey stretch to get within one on the 18th tee. But the young Aussie, who also has two wins on the European Tour, maintained his composure to seal it with a [par at the last](. "It opens up so many doors," said Herbert.

Justin Thomas, Brooks Koepka, Abraham Ancer, Tyrrell Hatton and Tony Finau all join the young Norwegian at El Camaleón Golf Course. Could this be the year a Mexican golfer breaks the drought and wins on home soil? Carlos Ortiz and the aforementioned Ancer both return, each with a TOUR win to their names, after strong play at Mayakoba in 2020 when Ortiz placed T8 and Ancer finished T12. The winner will take home [500 FedExCup points]( and with just two events left on the [TOUR schedule for 2021](, it’s an important time to pile up the points. Whoever takes the trophy on Sunday might notice a few more grey hairs in the mirror as final-round drama is all but guaranteed at El Camaleón. The last four winners have won by just one shot and only once in tournament history has the margin been more than two.
