The Riviera Country Club will once again play host to the PGA TOUR’s best as The Genesis Invitational tees off this week. The Genesis Invitational is the first of three player-hosted invitationals (along with the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard and Jack Nicklaus’ Memorial Tournament presented by Workday). Tiger Woods is the host this week but will also be in the field. This will be his first start since the Masters Tournament in 2023 – where he withdrew after the third round. Last season’s Genesis Invitational was his last full four-round effort on the PGA TOUR before injury. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler returns to action after a strong finish in last week’s WM Phoenix Open. He claimed T3 in his attempt to become the first player to three-peat on the PGA TOUR since Steve Stricker in 2009-11. Scheffler finished 12th at The Genesis last season. Rory McIlroy is set to make just his second TOUR start in 2024 after a T66 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. This will be McIlroy’s eighth start at Riviera. He finished 29th last season and claimed a career-best of fourth at Riviera in 2019. Others to look out for are Viktor Hovland, Max Homa, Justin Thomas and Xander Schauffele.

Down there cley makes a lot of well balanced golf [Applause] Swings in a second down below a pro shot into the par five for Klay after the t- shot didn’t have much left and he’s got a whole location that you can get to there you go Riviera Country Club second round underway the Genesis Invitational Patrick Klay 64 yesterday
His best round ever and how about to start [Applause] today that’s Patrick Hanley at the eighth what a shot there to become the first man he gets a double digits under car Patrick does it so he continues to press [Applause] forward this up the left side big pull right into the left
Trees that bounced out towards the Fairway it’s still going to be in the rough but he’s no longer in the tree line Steve yeah that was just a dead straight pull was like a hook or anything that’s Patrick Canley he’s laying up that was a pretty decent line
And that kakuya really thick blades actually around that ball did well to get it to there it’s going to roll into the rough which will make that third tougher but pretty good out Steve yeah see a lot of the golf ball well when you end a 69-year drought somebody’s bound
To get checked into the boards kley hitting his third okay oh that one straight up in the air stepen that was the only way he was stopping it from that line Patrick kley now trying to stretch that lead out to three I don’t know how much Jordan Speed helped him get there
Patrick he doesn’t need the help right now 11 under par Patrick kley setting the pace mashed potatoes this one starting down the right center Ste drawing might need to settle down just a little bit y one goes deep and left can’t like can get steep on it though just got to cover that
Bunker oh and he did how about the shots K Patrick KY how about that thought it was cool to see Tom do it cley’s was even better that was Sensational well if that was an education Patrick kley earned a master’s degree at 15 with that birdie from the left rough
Unless you snap hook it into the left roof we saw a couple players do that earlier I’ve moved on Frank 17’s par five but if you hit it in the rough you’re going to lay it up and that’s what Patrick kley is going to do there
And it’s not an easy layup over here and this one drifting right you definitely want to keep it in the Fairway yeah he’s going to have to do something with this one either stop it with trajectory or or play out farther to the right cuz I’m not so sure he can
Land it up on top and stop it nice shot there from hatrick he’ll have a birdie putt to move to 13 under par oh what a roll 13 under par for Patrick kley just amazing Terry walk demon a couple of years ago had it to 16 under after 36 holes
149 that’s a gap wedge on the way and a good looking R line been doing that for two [Applause] Days it’s exactly what he tried to do good plan really good plan seven under six under first two days and a five shot lead for the breu six under just today how would you describe this really impressive round of golf yeah definitely uh another day I puted really well like I said yesterday
The greens are in perfect shape I’ve never seen them better uh and I made a lot of putts both for par and and some mid-range bir birdie putts today well you’re leading in Strokes gained putting leading in Strokes gained approach when you think about the round overall beyond
The putting what have been the most important things to just keep that level of momentum going yeah I mean I had a big birdie or big par putt today on four and somehow that feels more important than some of the the birdie makes just to keep like you say the momentum uh
Going bogey free around this place is is always a treat um you know I hit a lot of smart shots didn’t hit all my t- shots exactly where I needed to but missed them in the correct spots and uh my lag putting has been good as well

MONEY STICK WORKING FOR CANTS… NICE ROUND.
arguably the most boring person on tour 😴
Couple of excellent rounds for Cantlay. I like the way he appreciates the crowd's support. Very classy
Best reason not to watch the PGA TOUR
