    PGA TOUR  

    Three PGA TOUR University alumni made the cut at the Mexico Open at Vidanta. Texas alum Parker Coody (Class of 2022) carded three consecutive sub-70 rounds, including a bogey-free third round, on his way to a season-best T24 finish. Davis Thompson notched his third top-25 of the season with a T24 finish. Thompson, the No. 2 player in the Class of 2021, has made the cut in 10 of his last 11 starts dating back to last season, including six top-25 finishes. Austin Eckroat (T38) made the cut and has made the weekend in four of his five starts this season.

    After winning the Latin America Amateur Championship and earning an exemption into the Mexico Open, Santiago De La Fuente made his second career start on TOUR. The University of Houston senior comfortably made the cut after firing an opening-round 67 and second-round 69.

    Thompson, Fred Biondi, Jacob Bridgeman, Adrien Dumont De Chassart, Chris Gotterup, Joe Highsmith, Mac Meissner and Kevin Yu will all make their debut at the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches this weekend. Eckroat as well as Parker and Pierceson Coody will make their second career starts in Palm Beach Gardens. The Coody brothers made their first PGA TOUR starts as pros at the 2023 Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches, where Pierceson shot an opening-round 66 and was T4 after the first round. Pierceson played on a sponsor exemption, while Parker Monday qualified into the field.
