LOS ANGELES — Joaquin Niemann was playing so well and having so much fun doing it at Riviera that he didn’t want to stop. And then he picked up right where he left off Friday and shattered the 36-hole record in the Genesis Invitational.

His opening-round 63 still fresh in his mind, Niemann hit 6-iron to 4 feet for eagle on the first hole, followed with a birdie and wound up with another 63.
