Editor’s Note: Due to Sunday’s storms, the final round of the Mack Champ Invitational has been canceled. The standings after 36 holes will determine the tournament results.
Evan Pena shot a tournament record 6-under 66 on Saturday to take a three-shot lead into the final round of the fourth annual Mack Champ Invitational at Memorial Park Golf Course in Houston.
Pena, a member of the class of 2026 from Puerto Rico, teed off on No. 10 this morning and shot a bogey-free 33-33 with 6 birdies and 12 pars. In March, he became the youngest Puerto Rican player to participate in a PGA Tour event when he played in the Puerto Rico Open.
Joseph Gutierrez (2026) from Whittier, CA, and Aadi Parmar (2027) from Selma, TX, were tied for second at 3-under for the tournament. Connor Herrera (2026) from Encinitas, CA, was alone in fourth at 1-under. (Leaderboard)
Jaxon Brown, who led after shooting 68 on Friday, fell back to the pack with an 81 on Saturday. He’s 5-over for the tournament.
In the 12-and-under division, Andrew Ayuso from Cypress, TX, is 9-over and has a one-shot lead over Chris Nana Tanke from Palm Beach Gardens, FL.
The 10-and-under division was a two-round competition. Blake Ayuso (Andrew’s brother) shot 74 on Saturday to finish 12-over for the tournament and take the title. He was four shots clear of Zafir Winn (Sacramento) and eight shots ahead of Stephen Sanders (Grand Prairie, TX).
