As the last man standing after a grueling week at Riviera, J.B. Holmes captured the Genesis Open and in the process returned to the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking.
Holmes started the final round four shots behind Justin Thomas, but as winds gusted and temps dropped his steady play helped him to a one-shot win over Thomas on a day when the leaders completed 33 holes. It's the fifth win of his career and first since the 2015 Houston Open, and it allowed Holmes to move from No. 100 to No. 42 in the latest rankings.
