LOS ANGELES — A victory proved too much to ask for Will Zalatoris on Sunday but it would be difficult for him to leave Riviera Country Club feeling anything but good about what he has overcome and where he is going.
There’s no shame in falling short to Hideki Matsuyama, who blew past everyone to capture the Genesis Invitational, making six back-nine birdies to shoot 62 and win for the first time in more than two years.
But Zalatoris's tie for second was more meaningful to him than simply the golf accomplishment.
