Team Troon On Tour: Erik van Rooyen with a Top 10 at The Mexico Open

PGA TOUR – Mexico Open

The Mexico Open concluded yesterday in Vidanta Vallara where Team Troon member Erik van Rooyen was in the field. Erik played well all week to earn top 10 but it was his first round that was a great showing of his skills and the good golf he has to play in the future. During first round he carded a -6, 29 on his front nine, finishing round with a great -10, 63 in sole lead of the event. He went on to play solid the rest of the week and finish within the Top 10. We are so excited to have Erik joining the team and congratulate him on a great week!

The player with the most ‘skins’ (during the 12 hole match) will be crowned champion. That Match has raised $38 million for charitable causes across its previous eight iterations. One exciting thing to look out for is Rory’s custom cart that will have some cool/impressive branding on it….so be on the lookout for that!
