Amateur Kihei Akina fired a 6-under-par 64 in the second round of the VidantaWorld Mexico Open 2026, moving into contention at Vidanta Vallarta in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The round on October 30, 2026, vaulted the United States amateur up the leaderboard in the PGA Tour event.
Akina, who balances competitive golf with responsibilities outside the sport, continued his strong play after an opening round that positioned him to make a run at the title. His 64 marked one of the low scores of the day at the seaside course.
