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."
Woods admits return to golf 'more difficult' than he let on
Tiger Woods admitted his return to top-level golf was physically harder than he let on after a final round of 73 in the Genesis Invitational. Woods suffered multiple fractures of his right leg and ankle in a car accident in Los Angeles two years ago and has resigned himself to playing only a handful of events a year for the rest of his career. The 15-time major winner showed glimpses of his brilliance at Riviera, particularly during a third round of 67, but found it difficult to walk 18 holes for five days in succession in his first event without the use of a cart since last summer's Open Championship.
