MEXICO CITY — Say what you want about Patrick Reed. He’s heard it all before, is used to it by now and has thrived in spite of every last word. Why would now be any different? A career of controversies be damned, with his victory on Sunday at the WGC-Mexico Championship, Reed now has eight
6:25 PM ET Associated Press RIO GRANDE, Puerto Rico — Viktor Hovland won the Puerto Rico Open on Sunday to become the first Norwegian winner in PGA Tour history, chipping in for eagle on the par-5 15th and racing in a 30-footer for birdie on the par-5 18th for a one-stroke victory over Josh Teater.
It’s quite likely that 13 is a more important number than 35 million to Justin Thomas, but given that both are in his sights on Sunday at Club de Golf Chapultepec, it’s worth mentioning them each. With a victory at the WGC-Mexico Championship, Thomas, the leader by one entering the final round, will have earned
7:28 PM ET MEXICO CITY — There was Jon Rahm with an ace and Rory McIlroy with a couple of 400-yard (elevated-aided) drives and Patrick Reed putting aside all the distractions.

MEXICO CITY — The origins of Patrick Reed’s Captain America nickname aren’t entirely clear but there’s no mistaking why he was dubbed with the moniker — his love of country and success in Ryder Cups. A more appropriate superhero comparison, though, would be Wolverine. A fierce and brawny (OK, one out of two ain’t bad)
6:33 PM ET Associated Press MEXICO CITY — Justin Thomas started and ended his round with bogeys.

7:24 PM ET Associated Press MEXICO CITY — Bryson DeChambeau kept making so many birdies in the Mexico Championship that when he rolled in his ninth one from 45 feet, all he could do was throw his hands in the air in pure wonder. He wasn’t alone Friday in making birdies, although Rory McIlroy would
MEXICO CITY — Halfway through the opening round of the WGC-Mexico Championship it looked like this wasn’t going to be much of a week for Erik van Rooyen, who was three over through his first seven holes. Then his trainer, who was filling in for his regular caddie who had been struck down by a
MEXICO CITY — Bryson DeChambeau’s decision to bulk up in order to gain distance has been well-documented. After adding more than 20 pounds and going up a shirt size from medium to large, though, his newfound girth took some getting used to when it came to his swing.
