Runner-up in Mexico Potgieter closed with a final round even-par 71 at the Mexico Open at VidantaWorld, losing in a playoff to Brian Campbell.

Impact Potgieter entered Sunday's action with a one-shot advantage, but he had a sluggish start with three front-nine bogeys to lose the lead. He righted the ship, however, with three birdies in the final seven holes to get into a playoff with Campbell. Unfortunately, he was unable to birdie the par-5 18th on either of the two playoff holes and had to settle for the runner-up finish. Potgieter led the field for the week in SG: Putting and ranked third off the tee, as the long-hitting 20-year-old builds momentum heading into the Florida Swing.

Struggles with Sunday 78 Potgieter recorded a six-over 78 in the final round of the Farmers Insurance Open to finish tied for 15th place.

Impact Potgieter was playing in the closing threesome as he started the day just two back of the lead, but he had a final round to forget with only two birdies to go along with six bogeys and a double bogey to fall outside the top-10. He led the field for the week in driving distance and SG: Off-the-tee but ranked in the bottom 10 in approach and around the green. Nevertheless, it's a positive sign for the long-hitting rookie, who had missed his first two cuts to start the year.
