In the opening round of The Genesis Invitational 2024, Justin Thomas hits his tee shot left at the par-4 second hole. The shot ends up along the driving range fence and among cables, limiting his options. Thomas then ricochets his second shot off the fence back into play. He hits his third shot to 8 feet, setting up a two-putt bogey.

The Riviera Country Club will once again play host to the PGA TOUR’s best as The Genesis Invitational tees off this week. The Genesis Invitational is the first of three player-hosted invitationals (along with the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard and Jack Nicklaus’ Memorial Tournament presented by Workday). Tiger Woods is the host this week but will also be in the field. This will be his first start since the Masters Tournament in 2023 – where he withdrew after the third round. Last season’s Genesis Invitational was his last full four-round effort on the PGA TOUR before injury. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler returns to action after a strong finish in last week’s WM Phoenix Open. He claimed T3 in his attempt to become the first player to three-peat on the PGA TOUR since Steve Stricker in 2009-11. Scheffler finished 12th at The Genesis last season. Rory McIlroy is set to make just his second TOUR start in 2024 after a T66 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. This will be McIlroy’s eighth start at Riviera. He finished 29th last season and claimed a career-best of fourth at Riviera in 2019. Others to look out for are Viktor Hovland, Max Homa, Justin Thomas and Xander Schauffele.

Maybe a little extra in this t- shop and that’s going left I think that was the right play the reason that Justin Thomas brought the rules official over here was so he was trying to move a bunch of cords but wanted to know if he got
Relief from the fence the bo have shot at the green yeah I mean but these people ultim would be in the way wouldn’t they they’re going to be in the way anyway but we someone said yeah you want to move so here’s what it looked like with
The actual cable next to the ball that Michael was talking about Craig you guys got way way way back per yeah I mean are maybe okay Craig he was taking practice swings like he was going to try and Ricochet this it’s why he’s moving the people way
Back almost he wants to get them behind him cuz he was swinging like he was going to try and bang this off of the board and Ricochet it so he’s letting everyone know hey you guys are in where this ball could potentially go and this is why everyone’s kind of standing
Around going hey we don’t get it anywhere but there yeah it’s it’s risky my so for bodily injury but uh it doesn’t feel like he could Advance it left-handed you’re risking something very bad happening you potentially should just take an unplayable lie here but bones has already told him this makes him very
Nervous it should this what he’s doing probably going to try and stop this club immediately on the strike tough to do see that’s what I was going to say Michael is he’s moving everybody and I know he was hoping it would get back out there but I thought that’s probably as
Far as he could hit it anyway one more look Craig yeah obviously he obviously considered as options if you’re taking an unplayable lie you’re really not going to get you’re going to get in that one Club length in that area uh that semicircle didn’t know if he was going
To gain too much there but he should be okay [Applause] [Applause] it definitely hooked finds the green and what a good shot there for Justin Thomas and he’ll have a chance to save his part remarkably after that fantastic third shot from the rough yeah I think maybe that was just
The mindset these are Tiger’s words as we’re walking up he said I bet you JT bleeping makes a par on this one and this is a very makeable putt should move a little bit left but he can keep it inside the hole same distance he missed on the previous hole so important
For his confidence boy it never moved it actually wiggled right there that influence down to the to his right the six screen so thanks for watching the PG Tour on YouTube to watch more click here to subscribe click here

All that for a bogey 😤
That was incredibly uneventful.
Left handed with back of 5wood/hybrid would have been safer and have more chance of getting out
That first hole for justinthose rules are pathetic
