Watson has lead at Genesis Open

LOS ANGELES— Back to his day job, Bubba Watson started with a tap-in eagle and finished with a 6-under 65 to build a one-shot lead in the Genesis Open. Watson is a two-time winner at Riviera who hasn’t won in two years. But he loves L.A. He played in the celebrity game Friday night during the NBA all-star weekend, and was rejected by Tracy McGrady. He was much better with a club in his hand. Watson was at 10-under 203, one shot ahead of UCLA alumnus Patrick Cantlay.
