Overview
- Bridgeman began Sunday at 19-under with a six-shot advantage over McIlroy at 13-under and went off in the final pairing at 2:20 p.m. ET at Riviera.
- During the final round, McIlroy holed a bunker shot for birdie at the 12th to join second place and was reported four behind Bridgeman at that moment.
- The Genesis Invitational is a PGA Tour Signature Event with an elite 72-player field, and McIlroy is still seeking a first win at Riviera, where even Woods and Jack Nicklaus never prevailed.
- McIlroy confirmed he will skip next week’s Cognizant Classic to scout Augusta early, with plans to be on site for ANWA activities and a round with his father and Augusta National chair Fred Ridley.
- Tiger Woods told CBS he will attend Masters champions’ events and said there “is” a possibility he plays in April, leaving his competitive status unconfirmed after recent back and Achilles surgeries.
