Description
The third round of the 2026 Genesis Invitational began with a congested leaderboard and perfect conditions for "Moving Day" in Pacific Palisades. With the early-week rain delays firmly in the past, the course at Riviera Country Club began to firm up, presenting the signature fast greens and tricky pin positions that have defined this event for a century. Fans arrived early to see if the stars could separate themselves from a pack of hungry challengers, including several young players looking for a career-defining win at one of golf's most prestigious venues.

Result Description
Akshay Bhatia emerged as the man to beat on Saturday, carding a brilliant round to reach 21-under-par and establish a two-stroke lead heading into the final day. Bhatia found an incredible rhythm on the greens, highlighted by a scorching scoring streak where he played seven of his last eight holes under par. His poise under pressure allowed him to distance himself from a world-class chasing pack that struggled to match his aggressive pace throughout the afternoon.
Jake Knapp and Sepp Straka provided the fireworks of the afternoon to keep the pressure on the leader. Knapp electrified the gallery with two eagles during his round, including a massive three on the par-5 18th to vault into second place at 17-under-par. Straka was equally impressive, recording a streak of five birdies in six holes on the back nine to share second place. Meanwhile, local favorite Collin Morikawa and Jordan Spieth both remains within striking distance at 14-under-par, though they will need a low round on Sunday to catch a red-hot Bhatia.
The drama extended to the middle of the pack as Matt Fitzpatrick and Min Woo Lee both recorded eagles of their own to stay in the conversation. While some of the tournament’s biggest names like Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler saw their momentum stall on a day of lower scoring elsewhere, the stage is now set for a thrilling Sunday finale with five golfers within five strokes of the lead.
