Tour Rundown: Genesis Invitational to Homa for win #2

Just like that, the #WestCoastWaddle is behind us. After memorable weeks in SoCal, NoCal, PhoCal, and more SoCal, the caravan of sojourning skalds traverses the continent in three brief days. Thursday finds the elite on the west coast of Florida, for the WGC-Workday, while those without such status peg their pelota in Puerto Rico. The LPGA and Champions return after a month’s vacay, while the European Tour joins in the fun at The Concession for The Workday. This week, storied Riviera offered us a delayed third round and a playoff-capped day four. In west Florida, a trie of ingenues also met in a playoff for the first Korn Ferry title of the year of the Ox. Allow us to run down this pair of events for you, as February enters its final week.

PGA Tour: Genesis Invitational to Homa for win #2

Time to coin a hashtag: #Qwitter. It’s when you Quit Twitter and get work done. Max Homa used to be @Twitter darling, with his takes on her swing, his swing, your swing (but not my swing!) Along the way, the Walker Cupper and budding star lost a bit of his way. By giving up the side bustle, Homa rediscovered his game. On Sunday, Homa broke out five birdies against zero bogies (not easy to do in Hogan’s Canyons) and reached 12 deep on the scorecard. Overnight leader Sam Burns (seriously, wasn’t he, like, all-week leader?) stood at 13-under par after an outward 31 on day four and then … he lost it. Bogey at 12, 14, and 15 brought him back to the field. Birdie at 17 gave him hope, but par at the last gave him a third-place finish. Tasty and traumatic in one gulp, Burns heads to Florida with retribution on his mind.

Homa wasn’t the only guy to reach a dozen-deep on Sunday. Tony Finau lit Riviera up with eight birdies on the high holy day. Trouble for him was, he made a bogey … on the 16th. He then made birdie at 17 and 18, to catch Homa. How does he not win? Because he’s Tony Finau, and weird things happen when he’s in the mix. Homa and Finau headed off to the devilish 10th hole for overtime, and both escaped with pars at the shortest par-six in the game. From there, they bounced over to the par-three 14th, where the bell rang. Finau found a bunker off the tee, while Homa roped an iron into the way-left hole location. Homa’s two-putt par sealed victory when Finau could not get his sandy.

The win was vindication for Homa, and gut-wrenching for Finau. Let’s be honest: even @SamHarrop wants @tonyfinaugolf to win again. Here’s hoping it’s something big for the man from Utah.

Korn Ferry: LECOM Suncoast Invitational decided with Buckley’s birdie

It sounds about right that three guys from, respectively, Lipscomb, Missouri, and UNLV met in a playoff at the LECOM Suncoast Classic. The Korn Ferry Tour is the proving ground for the PGA Tour, and few talents move straight to the top circuit. Hayden Buckley (Missouri) and Billy Kennerly (Clemson) shared the lead at -12 through 54 holes. Buckley shot minus-one on Sunday, while Kennerly finished double-single, to drop from 15-under to 11 deep. Debilitating, but not uncommon, right?

Well, the event wasn’t over. Kennerly came fourth, because Dawson Armstrong (Lipscomb) also made bogey at the last, to lose the outright lead. Oh, and Taylor Montgomery (UNLV) made his own bogey at 16, but etched pars at 17 and 18 on his card, to finish with Armstrong and Buckely at a dozen under par. Nothing like being in contention, to make the hands sweat, the knees shake, and the head think thoughts that no golfer should think.

Away they went. Buckley, Armstrong and Montgomery, to the 18th hole, to settle matters. Buckley maneuvered his approach some ten feet behind the hole and, with his poodle and significant other looking on, drained the birdie effort to eliminate good friend Armstrong and Montgomery. The Korn Ferry Tour takes a four-week break until late March, when it reconvenes in Louisiana for the Chitimacha Louisiana Open, in Broussard.

Testing Lorem Ipsum

What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Why do we use it?

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

GolfWRX is on site for the second major of 2026: The PGA Championship from Aronimink in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.

The tournament’s location, just outside Philadelphia, and its status as a major championship mean GolfWRXers are in for a treat: WITBs from a strong field, custom gear celebrating the PGA Championship, and the rich culture of the City of Brotherly Love — we have noted a relative absence of cheesesteak-themed items thus far this week, but most of the rest of the usual suspects are well represented.
