Brian Campbell Claims First PGA Tour Title with Mexico Open Playoff Victory

Campbell secures career-changing win after a fortunate bounce, defeating Aldrich Potgieter in a dramatic playoff.

  • Brian Campbell, 31, won the Mexico Open for his first PGA Tour title after 187 starts across the PGA and Korn Ferry Tours.
  • The victory was sealed on the second playoff hole after Campbell's errant tee shot ricocheted off trees back into play, setting up a birdie putt.
  • Aldrich Potgieter, a 20-year-old South African and the PGA Tour's longest driver, missed a critical birdie putt to extend the playoff.
  • Campbell's win grants him entry to major tournaments, including the Masters, PGA Championship, and remaining Signature Events this season.
  • Isaiah Salinda finished solo third, one stroke behind the playoff contenders, with a strong final-round 65.
