How slow play, bad play and foul weather made for a long week at the Genesis Open

LOS ANGELES -- A balmy, comfortable week in Southern California it was not. Unfortunately a big part of Genesis Open (Los Angeles Open going back to the 1920s) history has seen weather become a big part of the story. Somehow the tournament concluded on Sunday.

Nothing gets the blood boiling more than watching J.B. Holmes labor over every shot in a round of golf. The reason it is not discussed more is because Holmes is not frequently on TV, where the pre-shot routine becomes a source of astonishment as those not accustomed to seeing him are treated to some painfully lengthy periods before club strikes ball.
