As happens so often on the weekend, the Rivera Country Club was the big winner, as only three players were able to break 70 Saturday in the third round of the $9.3 million Genesis Invitational. When the smoke had cleared, 36-hole leader Sam Burns was still in front after 54 holes despite a 3-over-par 74 in round 3.  

    Burns heads into today's finale at 9 under after he had held a five-stroke lead at the halfway point with rounds of 64-66-130. Now, he's just two in front of Max Homa, who shot 70, Matthew Fitzpatrick, who shot 69, and Dustin Johnson, with a third-round 71. 

    Other than Fitzpatrick, only Matt Jones and Talor Gooch broke 70, both with 69s. They're both at 208, 5 under, and tied for fifth. Seminole Brooks Koepka stumbled to a 77 and is 2 over, and Gator Brian Gay also shot 77 and is 5 over.
