The tables finally turned on Riviera Country Club, and a player delivered a devastating gut punch to the tournament. Unfortunately, it was not a golf shot that laid the course low, and the playing dealing the unexpected damage was Tiger Woods, who withdrew from the tournament Friday afternoon after hitting his tee shot on the seventh hole. Play continued, and Long Beach's Patrick Cantlay, who learned Riviera as a player on UCLA's golf team, stretched his lead. Much like Joaquin Niemann, now-depa...

Chants of "Ole, Ole, Ole, Joaquim Niemann!" could be heard moments after the 23-year-old Chilean golfer holed his final shot at the renowned Riviera Country Club to win the 2022 Genesis Invitational in Pacific Palisades. Niemann's historic two-stroke wire-to wire victory over Cameron Young and Collin Morikawa was only the fourth time in the tournament's history that a player lead after all four rounds.

By Robert Butchko, Observer Sports Writer Midway through the second round, it looked like the 2022 Genesis Invitational was going to turn into the Joaquin Neimann Run Away and Hide. Chile's best-known PGA tour member-and, other than Mito Pereira, its only one-opened the tournament with a record-tying first round score and promptly broke the rule that the hardest thing to do was follow up a great round with a good one. Neimann's second round was not better than his first round, but it was exactly...

It was Henderson's 10th career victory on the LPGA Tour against a field worthy of a Hollywood script as the leaderboard kept rewriting itself in the final round. The 10th victory also gave Henderson m...

You want to come down the end and...

It took six playoff holes and an extra day for Jason Day to win the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines Golf Course in La Jolla, San Diego. Even better news for the Tour and more importantly for the fans was the encouraging return of Tiger Woods, who played pain-free for the first time since anyone could last remember. Day birdied the par-5 18th hole on the South Course to outlast Alex Noren and win his second title at one of...
Yes, Culver City High has a golf team. Not surprisingly, many of school's students and teachers are also not aware of this fact. The sprawling athletic fields that adorn the campus supporting the more traditional team sports perhaps add to the adage: out of sight, out of mind. High school golf is not a spectator sport and not played on school grounds. But change is in the air, on the tees, the greens, fairways and bunkers. For the past few seasons, Centaur golfers have been swinging away to...
