LOS ANGELES (AP) – Max Homa may not have scripted it this way, but the 30-year-old California has earned a victory in the PGA tournament near his hometown.  Homa captured the Genesis Invitational in a one-hole playoff against Tony Finau. The win was secured just minutes after Homa missed a 3-foot birdie putt on 18 to extend the tournament.  Homa closed with a 5-under 66 and played the final 26 holes without a bogey for a minus-12 total.  Finau recorded his 10th runner-up finish worldwide since his lone victory in the Puerto Rico Open five years ago.  Sam Burns closed with a 69 and missed the playoff by one shot after leading the second and third rounds.  Meanwhile, Tiger Woods said he isn’t sure if he’ll be able to compete in the Masters this spring.
