Abraham Ancer will be confident of winning the
2022 Mexico Open as he returns to his home country.
The Mexican star is among the favourites to win the tournament and he is currently ranked 20th on the Official World Golf Rankings.
Ancer won the 2018 Emirates Australian Open and the 2021 WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational for his first PGA Tour career victory.
Last year proved to be Ancer's breakthrough season as he won the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational after two sudden-death playoff holes against Hideki Matsuyama and Sam Burns.
With the win, the San Antonio-based golfer became the fourth Mexican player to win on the PGA Tour and the first to win on the European Tour.
Ancer has struggled since the turn of the year having missed his last two cuts at the Masters' Tournament and Valspar Championship, respectively, and hasn't finished higher than 33rd in 2022.
However, the 31-year-old, who is a former Odessa College University of Oklahoma student, will be desperate to clinch his second win on the PGA Tour in his home country.

Ancer was happy with his performance at last month's 2022 WGC - Dell Technologies Match Play where he ended up finishing fifth.
"Very pleased, especially if you can save any type of energy for the afternoon. These days are very long and mentally it's tough and draining," Ancer said.
"So, yeah, very happy with my performance today. I've had some nice feelings throughout my swing, throughout the week, that I wasn't really having the past weeks.
"But I knew I was really close and putting has also been really nice this week."
Al Espinosa is the most successful golfer in the history of the Mexico Open having won the tournament a record four times.
