Rahm holds on to win Genesis Invitational, returns to No. 1

Jon Rahm returned to No. 1 in the world on Sunday by winning the Genesis Invitational with a performance that left no doubt who's playing the best golf.

Caught in a battle with hometown favourite Max Homa at Riviera, Rahm delivered two big moments with a 45-foot birdie putt from the fringe on the par-three 14th and then a tee shot to two feet for birdie on the par-three 16th.

He closed with a two-under 69 for a two-shot win over Homa.

"Pretty incredible," Rahm said. "[To win] at a golf course with this legacy, this history and hosted by Tiger Woods, is such an honour."
