The 2019 WGC-Mexico Championship was an exciting tournament that saw Matt Kuchar and Camilo Villegas go head-to-head in a dramatic finish. After a strong start, both players suffered a late collapse that saw them finish tied for second place.
Kuchar and Villegas began the tournament with high hopes of taking home the trophy. Kuchar had a great start to the tournament, shooting a seven-under 65 in the first round. This was followed by a five-under 67 in the second round, putting him in a great position to win the tournament. Villegas also had a strong start, shooting a four-under 68 in the first round and a five-under 67 in the second round.
Things looked promising for both players as they headed into the final round. Kuchar and Villegas were tied for the lead at twelve-under par, and it seemed like either one of them could take home the trophy. Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worse in the final round. Kuchar shot a two-over 74, while Villegas shot an even-par 72. This allowed Rory McIlroy to take home the trophy, as he finished at fifteen-under par.
Kuchar and Villegas were both disappointed with their performance in the final round, but they were still able to take some positives away from the tournament. Kuchar finished in the top 10 for the fourth time this season, while Villegas earned his first top-10 finish since 2016. Despite their late collapse, both players can take pride in their performance at the WGC-Mexico Championship.
