Genesis Open 2021: Max Homa Edges Tony Finau in Playoff for Win

Max Homa knows how to win in the most dramatic fashion possible.

His five-under 66 on Sunday helped him finish 12 under for the Genesis Invitational and keep pace with the red-hot Tony Finau (12 under overall, seven under on Sunday) before beating him in two playoff holes to earn the title in Pacific Palisades, California. Both players catapulted past Sam Burns (11 under), who came into Sunday atop the leaderboard but shot a 69.

Homa had an opportunity to win the tournament on No. 18, going into the hole tied with Finau, but missed a three-foot birdie attempt.
