Disappointing 73 sees McIlroy’s challenge peter out as Adam Scott claims Genesis Invitational victory
Adam Scott started his 2020 campaign in the same way as he finished 2019’s, with victory in the Genesis Invitational as Rory McIlroy’s title challenge petered out at Riviera.
Scott, who won the Australian PGA Championship three days before Christmas, overcame dropping three shots in two holes on the front nine to card a closing 70 and finish 11 under par, two shots ahead of Sung Kang, Scott Brown and Matt Kuchar.
