  HotelPlanner Tour : Grand Final 

• Leaderboard

Julien Sale will take a one-stroke lead into the final round of the Grand Final as he edged closer to becoming the second Frenchman to top the Road to Mallorca Rankings.

The one-time HotelPlanner Tour winner, who entered the week 7th on the season-long race, carded a -2 third round of 70 to move to -15, one-stroke clear of England’s Charlie Forster 66, American John Catlin 68, and South African MJ Daffue 67, all chasing at -14.

Having turned at level par, the 2026 Le Vaudreuil Golf Challenge winner picked up his second birdie of the day on the 11th before adding one more birdie on the 15th to pull clear at the top.

"It was tougher today with the wind. It was a lot trickier, but I hung in there," he said.

"The front nine played tough but I managed to make a few birdies on the back nine and finish under par to keep the lead so I’m happy with today."

"Patience is important out there, especially on the front nine as it’s the harder of the two nines. You know the back nine is going to present opportunities," he added.

"Unfortunately, the putter wasn’t as hot as I would’ve liked but I still made a few and I’m happy with the way I handled myself today."

Forster made the most notable charge on moving day, mixing seven birdies with one dropped shot to sign for an impressive -6 66. The Englishman is embarking on his rookie HotelPlanner Tour season and will become the first player from the Global Amateur Pathway Rankings to earn promotion to the DP World Tour via the Road to Mallorca.

"I hit the ball really well off the tee again so set up those opportunities was really key out there," he said.

"I can’t wait to get out there tomorrow. I’ve got a lot of family and friends watching so I’m sure they’re going to be up for it too. I’m just going to treat it as a normal tournament and if it happens there’s a great reward at the end."

Denmark’s Hamish Brown, who started the week in the Number One berth, holds solo fifth on -13,  one stroke ahead of Italian Matteo Cristoni, Scot Marc Warren, Spaniard Joseba Torres and Dutchman Lars van der Vight, all -12.

The Grand Final is the 28th and final event on the HotelPlanner Tour’s 2026 Road to Mallorca schedule, with the 45-man field competing for one of 15 DP World Tour cards on offer.

Novak by a touchdown, Hughes leads Canadians in Mexico....54 hole results

   PGA Tour VidantaWorld Mexico Open  Leaderboard .

American Andrew Novak is in great shape for this first individual win on the PGA Tour at -23 190 with his accurate driving, iron play and a hot putter to tie the course record -10 61 then add a Saturday 62 to lead by 6 shots heading into Sunday. 

You may remember he teamed up with Ben Griffin to win the Zurich Classic in New Orleans last year. 

Canadian Mac Hughes has had his fair share of frustration this year, however he remains optimistic in a recent interview with my former colleague Bob Weeks, and so far his 65 67 67 -14 T7 has him in a good spot at a projected #109 to crack the top 100 who will get their 2027 cards..

The cut fell at -4 on this resort course at VidantaWorld, that is not providing much of a test to this PGA Tour field this week.

The average score is nearly -3 on a par 71.

DP World Tour: Grand Final Road to Mallorca 36 hole results..

 HotelPlanner Tour : Grand Final 

• Leaderboard

Julien Sale produced a back nine birdie blitz on his way to a second round -7 65 to take a one-stroke lead into the weekend of the Grand Final at Club de Golf Alcanada.

The Frenchman mixed ten birdies with three dropped shots on Friday in Alcúdia to reach -13 at the halfway stage, one shot ahead of Dutchman Lars van der Vight.

The Grand Final is the 28th and final event on the HotelPlanner Tour’s 2026 Road to Mallorca schedule, with the 45-man field competing for one of 15 DP World Tour cards on offer.

"Today was a great round, and I cannot believe I made ten birdies," he said.

"I’ve been playing really well and managed to make a couple of putts which was nice. I had a couple of mistakes, but the birdies were there."

Sale is assured of promotion to the DP World Tour following a fine campaign which has included a breakthrough victory and five further top ten finishes. After taking charge in Mallorca, Sale is now projected to top the season-long Rankings and become the first Frenchman to achieve the feat since Mike Lorenzo-Vera 19 years ago.

Van der Vight also showed his fire power on Friday, matching Sale’s effort with a bogey-free 65 of his own, helping him to -12 and solo second.

Overnight leader Joseba Torres also kept pace with a -4 effort meaning he’s one back of the Dutchman on -11 under. The Spaniard, who has uncle José María Olazábal mentoring him this week, requires a sixth place finish to keep his hopes of promotion to Golf’s Global Tour alive.

American John Catlin holds solo fourth on -10 one stroke clear of England’s Matthew Southgate and South African MJ Daffue, -9

The third round of the Grand Final will get under way from 10:38am on Saturday, with Sale teeing off alongside Van der Vight and Torres at 12:02pm.
