Saturday's 5 best shots from Riviera
A massive amount of rain fell Friday at Riviera, but the grounds crew did an amazing job to get the course ready for Saturday play .
With officials hoping for a Sunday finish, players knew they were going to play until they couldn't play any longer Saturday afternoon. All those swings provided a collection of fantastic shots at the Genesis Open.
Here are the best swings from Saturday's action:
5. Phil Mickleson at the par-5 11th, shaping a 3-wood out of trouble - while up against the driving range.
