Max Homa emerged victorious over Tony Finau after a two-hole playoff to win The Genesis Invitational. Homa carded scores of 66-70-70-66 to finish the tournament at 12-under-par to get into the Playoff with Finau. They both parred the first playoff hole but it was Homa's par on the second playoff hole that sealed his second PGA TOUR victory.
Homa played in AJGA events from 2006 until 2009 and had five top-5 finishes. His two career-best AJGA finishes were third at the 2006 Nike Golf Junior at Diablo Grande and third at the 2009 ClubCorp Mission Hills Desert Junior.
First winner of 2021 is in the books. π
