The green surrounds and putting surfaces at Riviera are known for confounding tour pros each year at the Genesis Invitational. Perhaps nobody has quite suffered the fate of Ryan Palmer and his adventure in a greenside bunker at Riviera Country Club on Saturday.
Regardless of who is on Mickelson’s bag, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him accomplish something big this week. Mickelson has two wins and two runner-ups in 18 career starts at Riviera.
