Watson stayed in the game with three key putts early on the back nine, then fulfilled a playful pledge he forgot he even made on the par-3 14th by holing a bunker shot for birdie that allowed him to seize control Sunday in the Genesis Open. He never gave anyone a chance the rest of the way, closing with a 2-under 69 for a two-shot victory over Tony Finau and Kevin Na.
Finau, a West High School graduate, closed with a 69 to finish at 10 under. Finau moved to No. 6 in the FedEx Cup standings with his second runner-up finish of the 2017-18 season.
