Genesis Invitational

[Bamford]

Riviera Country Club is a classical, tree-lined affair which has received some Tom Fazio updates over the years. The 10th hole is known globally, with the par-4 18th one of the iconic holes of world golf. At 7,300 yards it doesn't seem long, but the par-4s can be stretching and the two par-5s on the backside both play at a snidge below 600 yards. A shot-makers course where strategy and patience are key - even the winners here miss a minimum of 20 greens across the 4 days. So we need players who miss on the right-side and who can scramble well. Add fast poa annua greens to the mix, and you can see why the likes of Webb Simpson stay away from Riviera.

Johnson 6/1

Watson 45/1

Leishman 60/1

Cantlay must have a great chance of winning this
