LOS ANGELES: Adam Scott fired a one-under-par 70 on Sunday to win the Genesis Invitational, and this time the Australian’s victory at Riviera Country Club is official. He finished two strokes in front of South Korea’s Kang Sung (69) and Americans Scott Brown (68) and Matt Kuchar (72). Scott’s big miscue came at the par-four fifth, where his flop shot from behind the green rolled back to his feet and he wound up with a double-bogey. While Scott bounced right back with an 18-foot birdie putt at the sixth, McIlroy made a bogey and never really recovered. “Definitely the toughest day of the week,” said McIlroy, who regained the world number one ranking last Monday for the first time since 2015.
