Cole Rueck has conquered the Genesis Invitational Collegiate Showcase for the second straight season. And on two different courses.
The showcase is normally played at Riviera Country Club, but due to the Los Angeles wildfires, the tournament and showcase were moved to Torrey Pines Golf Club, the South Course, in La Jolla, Calif., in 2025.
