Scott wins Genesis Invtl, Woods finishes last among players who made cut

Adam Scott closed with 1-under 70 for a two-shot victory in the Genesis Invitational at the Riviera Country Club.

Scott finished at 11-under 273 for his first PGA Tour title since the World Golf Championship at Doral in 2016.

Rory McIlroy was tied for the lead when he went long on the fifth, took two flop shots to get on the green and then compounded the error with a three-putt triple bogey. McIlroy never recovered. He closed with a 73 and tied for fifth.

Tiger Woods shot a 5 over and shot 77 to finish last among the 68 players who made the cut. It was the first time Woods has finished last alone since the Memorial in 2015.

Matt Kuchar, who started the final round tied with Scott and McIlroy, shot 72 and tied for second with Sung Kang (69) and Scott Brown (68).

Hideki Matsuyama made the cut on the number and finished three shots behind in a tie for fifth with McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau, Max Homa and Joel Dahmen.
