Jon Rahm enhanced his status as the PGA Tour's best player by holding off Max Homa to win the Genesis Invitational even as the gallery focused on Tiger Woods.

“It’s hard. I’ve done it for a long time, but it’s just not — the body is sometimes saying no even though the mind says yes.” Rahm’s win was his 10th since joining the PGA Tour in 2017. He was met a few steps beyond the green by his wife, Kelley, who handed him his 22-month old son, Kepa.“Max battled out there and Patrick gave us a scare,” Rahm said between kisses from his family. “To reach a milestone of double-digit wins is incredible.
“This is a big year for us, big year for the Tour and the commitment of the players to stay unified, to — we’re all working to make this Tour and our product the best we possibly can,” Woods said. “To have all the top players come and play these elevated events or designated events is very important.”
Once Woods was done with his round, attention turned to Rahm, Homa, and a hard-charging Patrick Cantlay. On the par-three 14th Rahm made a 46-foot birdie putt and he picked up another stroke with a birdie on the par-three 16th after landing his tee shot less than three feet from the pin.
