No record, but Joaquin Niemann still completes wire-to-wire win at Genesis

Joaquin Niemann didn’t break Lanny Wadkins’ record, but he did win the Genesis Invitational on Sunday at Riviera Country Club for his second career PGA Tour victory. Here’s everything you need to know from the final round in Pacific Palisades, California:

Leaderboard: Joaquin Niemann (-19), Collin Morikawa (-17), Cameron Young (-17), Viktor Hovland (-14), Adam Scott (-14)

How it happened: As he stood on the 18th green Sunday evening, Niemann summed things up perfectly. “This weekend, it felt like a month,” he said. He had stormed out to a record-breaking 36-hole lead after back-to-back 63s and then set a new 54-hole tournament record at 19 under, taking a three-shot advantage over Young into Sunday’s final round.
