Jake Knapp at the 2024 Mexico Open at Vidanta

Knapp came into the fourth and decisive round of the Mexico Open at Vidanta on top of the leaderboard, which was the reason for his girlfriend's trip from Canada. Knapp finished the first 54 holes with a score of 19 under.

The fourth round was the least favorable for Knapp, as he could only score even par. However, it was enough for him to maintain his lead over Sami Valimaki and win the tournament.

This was Knapp's ninth PGA Tour opener, and fifth of the current season. His 2024 results include a T70 at the Sony Open, a T3 at the Farmers Insurance Open and a T28 at the WM Phoenix Open. He missed the cut at The American Express.

This victory gave Jake Knapp the largest paycheck of his career (nearly $1.5 million). He also gained 500 FedEx Cup ranking points and a spot in the field for The Masters and all Signature Events remaining in the season.
