Hideki Matsuyama put on a show at Riviera in the final round of the Genesis Invitational, shooting a 62 to hold off Will Zalatoris and Luke List for the win.

Matsuyama was 17-under par for the tournament. In the final round, he started with three consecutive birdies then six pars through nine holes. He started just as strong on the back nine with three birdies and then closing with three more birdies.

It was a great way for the 2021 Masters champion to pick up his ninth PGA Tour win and his first in a Tour event since the 2022 Sony Open.

Jordan Spieth offered a pretty good reminder to Matsuyama on X, drawing from his own experience at Riviera earlier in the tournament.

"Great playing Hideki! Just make sure you double check that scorecard…" Spieth wrote.

Spieth was disqualified from the tournament after he signed for the wrong score. During the second round, he bogeyed the par-3 fourth hole at the southern California course, but it was written down that he had a par.

The 29-year-old shot a 2-over 73 on the day — not a 72 like the card said — putting him at 3-under for the tournament. Spieth shot a 66 in the first round, putting himself in good position.

Normally, someone a golfer is paired with, a "marker," will keep score for that golfer.
