LOS ANGELES—Thousands of fans watching Tiger Woods in his 2024 debut missed out on the best golf Thursday at the Genesis Invitational. In the group ahead of Woods was Patrick Cantlay, looking as though he wants to be the next Southern California native to win at Riviera.
Cantlay opened with three birdies in four holes and never really slowed until a sycamore tree halted his great run. He still managed a 7–under 64, giving him a one-shot lead.
