Peerless Rahm returns to World No.1 after Riviera win

Jon Rahm returned to the top of the world rankings with his third victory of the year in the Genesis Invitational. Rahm carded a closing 69 at Riviera to finish 17-under par, two shots ahead of American Max Homa, with Patrick Cantlay another stroke back in third. The victory is Rahm's fifth in his last nine worldwide starts and his 10th PGA Tour title, one more than his compatriot and idol Seve Ballesteros. "That was a tough week and a tough Sunday," Rahm told CBS. "Max battled out there and Patrick kind of gave us a scare and I'm just glad I could come through at the end. "Beating Seve, I know he didn't play full time on the PGA Tour and I know five of those wins are majors, but still, to reach that milestone of double digit wins is pretty incredible. "And to do it at a golf course with this legacy, this history and hosted by the man himself, Tiger Woods, it's a true honour."
