The Limerick Summary: 2020 Genesis Invitational

Winner: Adam Scott

Around the wider world of golf: Inbee Park got her 20th LPGA title at the ISPS Handa Women’s Australian Open; Scott Parel won the Chubb Classic for his third Champions Tour title; Andrew Novak won the LECOM Suncoast Classic for his first Korn Ferry Tour title; LET player Lejan Lewthwaite won the R600 000 Dimension Data Ladies Pro-Am on the Sunshine Tour; and Michael Sim won the Coca-Cola QLD PGA Championship on the Australasian Tour.

My Twofer Tuesday picks didn't do too bad at Riviera. I had Rory McIlroy (T5) and Tiger Woods (68), and Rory got me a T5. As for Tiger, those crazy greens did a number on him again this year. I really do think he'll eventually figure this place out but, even if he doesn't, he can at least console himself with the knowledge that Jack never won here either.

• Top10s: 7 for 14 (3 Top5, 4 other Top10s)
• Winners: 0 for 7 events

On the other hand, Adam Scott had won at Riviera before... although nobody gave him credit for it. His 2005 win at what used to be the Nissan Open was rain-shortened to 36 holes and thus not considered an official win. I'm sure that irritated him a bit; after all, it wasn't his fault that somebody left the water running waaaaay too long that year.

Well, he would not need to worry approximately that anymore. He's got an professional Genesis Invitational identify and all of the perks that go with it.

It's easy to mention that Adam isn't always the great putter on Tour and that each Matt Kuchar and Rory McIlroy -- his co-leaders coming into the final round -- possibly have to have beaten him. But Adam's document while he has a bit of the fifty four-hollow lead is nearly as desirable as Rory's, and his iron play changed into the high-quality of the excellent this week. On Sunday he become the most effective one of the 3 to submit an below-par round.

And that become sufficient.

It was Adam's first PGA Tour win considering that 2016, but he gained the Australian PGA Championship just multiple months again. Maybe he is observed something he idea he had misplaced; perhaps you simply can not preserve an elegant participant down. At any charge, Adam selections up his 2d Limerick Summary in as many months. Who is aware of what 2020 may also keep for him?
