Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - PGA TOUR - OHL CLASSIC AT MAYAKOBA, El Camaleon Golf Club, Riviera Maya, Mexico -- The PGA Tour travels to Mexico this week for the final event of the early portion of the 2013-14 wrap-around schedule.
John Huh heads to Riviera Maya to defend his title at the OHL Classic. Huh fired a 63 in the final round in February 2012 to force a playoff with Robert Allenby.
The duo battled through seven playoff holes before Huh parred the eighth extra hole to fend off Allenby and win for the first time on the PGA Tour.
Huh kept Allenby's winless streak going with the win. Allenby won four PGA Tour events between 2000-01, but is winless since.
The event had been played opposite the WGC - Accenture Match Play the last six years, but moved to the early portion of the 2013-14 season. Thanks to the move, the previous six champions of the tournament are all in the field.
Among the big names competing this week will be major champions Angel Cabrera, Darren Clarke and Davis Love III
