"Hideki Matsuyama Makes History with Genesis Victory at Riviera"

Hideki Matsuyama rallies from a six-shot deficit with a 9-under 62 to win the Genesis Invitational, setting a new record for the lowest closing round by a winner at Riviera and becoming Asia's most prolific Tour winner with nine PGA Tour victories. Matsuyama's victory breaks the record he shared with K.J. Choi of South Korea. His final round brilliance included consecutive shots inside a foot of the hole, securing a three-shot victory over Will Zalatoris and Luke List. Matsuyama's win, his first in two years, earns him $4 million and moves him to No. 20 in the world rankings.
