Jake Knapp Returns To Defend His Title At The Mexico Open
Last year was an impressive coming-out party for Jake Knapp. The now 30-year-old PGA Tour player is in his second year on the circuit and returns to a place seemingly tailor-made for his brand of golf. He's coming off a T17 finish at the Genesis Invitational last week, where he ranked 5th in the field in strokes gained off the tee (+0.59) and 15th in driving distance (297.3). It was also a good week with the irons, as he ranked 15th in strokes gained on approach (+0.67) and 10th in GIR percentage (70.8%). The long irons continue to be the stronger side of his approach game, and Vidanta Vallarta presents players with plenty of opportunities. If his latest performance at Torrey is any indication, Knapp could easily be back in the mix this year.
